What are the different bone diseases?
Examples include: Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Osteomalacia, Paget's disease, and Bone Metastases (from other sites where a cancerous process is primary).
What is the beginning of osteoporosis called?
Osteopenia
What does diffuse osteopenia mean?
Diffuse osteopenia is mild decrease in bone mineralization - not as severe as osteoporosis
What more serious condition can osteopenia lead to?
Osteopenia is of concern because it can lead to premature osteoporosis.
What body system is Osteomalacia related to?
Hello, I see you are asking " What are the symptoms for osteoporosis?"However, some signs and symptoms, such as receding gums, weaker grip strength, and more brittle fingernails may be early warning signs. A loss of height, a stooped posture, back or neck pain, and bone fractures are often the most common symptoms of later-stage osteoporosis. orthopedicshealth. com/condition/osteopenia/c/30364
What are two diseases in the skeletal system?
Osteoporosis: This is a disease in which the bones become fragile and prone to fracture. Leukemia: This is a cancer of the white blood cells. Osteopenia, osteitis deformans, and osteomalacia: Similar to osteoporosis, these are other types of bone loss. Scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis: These are abnormalities of the spinal curve.
What is osteopenia?
osteopenia refers to decreased calcification or density of bone. having osteopenia places a person at risk for developing osteoporosis, a more serious condition that causes bones to become brittle or possibly break.Bone deficiency
What does bisphosphanates mean?

Osteoarthritis - degenerative wear and tear of the bone joints;Osteomalacia - softening of the bone;Osteoporosis - brittle bone, bones becomes porous that makes it prone to breakage. common in older people.
What is the condition in which the body's bones became weak and break easily?
Fibrous dysplasia, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis, and Osteopenia are all diseases that cause the thinning of bone. Fibrous dysplasia is a disease that affects one or more bones. During the course of this disease, growths or lesions replace healthy bone with fibrous tissue. This tissue elongates and thins the bone, making it weak and deformed. Osteomalacia is a disease caused by insufficient intake or malabsorption of vitamin D. It leads to soft, deformed bones that may be thin, brittle, and painful. Osteomalacia's affects can sometimes be stopped or reversed by high doses of vitamin D and sunlight. Osteoporosis is a disease marked by an extreme reduction in bone mineral density. This lowered bone mineral density is due to an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation, usually caused by chronic malnutrition, hormonal defficiencies, medications, and/or diseases. Osteoporosis causes weakness, extreme fragility (increased fracture risk), thin and brittle bones, and occasionally loss of height. Osteoporosis is considered life-threatening and is usually treated with supplemental calcium, vitamin D, biphosphates, hormones, and physically strengthening activity. Osteopenia is another disease marked by low bone mineral density. The bone mineral density of an Osteopenic is not as severely reduced as someone with Osteoporosis, but the patient is highly susceptible to developing Osteoporosis over time. To prevent further bone loss, a doctor often prescribes supplemental calcium, vitamin D, biphosphates, hormone therapy, and/or extra physical activity. There are other bone-thinning diseases but the four above are the most frequently observed.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal reduction of bone mass?
Osteopenia is an abnormal reduction in bone mass.
