Osteopenia refers to demineralized or under mineralized bones. Periarticular osteopenia is a lowering of density in the area of bones which surround a joint. Periarticular osteopenia is most common in the hands, but can occur around any joint.
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
Osteopenia is abnormally low bone density. In this case, the problem is below the cartilage of the larger bone of the forearm at the wrist.
Cachectic - Having cachexia, physical wasting with loss of weight and muscle mass due to disease. Patients with advanced cancer, AIDS, and some other major chronic progressive diseases may appear cachectic.emaciated and gaunt come to mind
Osteopenia refers to a marked loss of bone density.Osteoporosis refers to a marked loss of bone density and an increase in bone porosity commonly associated with aging.
Osteopenia (oste = bone + penia = to starve) refers to the bone mineral density being nower than normal, but not low enough to be osteoporosis (oste = bone + por = holes + osis = condition of). This is a natural occurance after the age of about 45.
The early signs of loss of bone density is called osteopenia. The later condition in which loss of bone density is significant is called osteoporosis.
Density
Density.
A bone density test uses a very low-dose X-ray machine that evaluates bone loss commonly associated with osteopenia or osteoporosis. The bone density test uses two low-energy X-ray beams to examine the strength of your bones, identify potential fracture risk, and evaluate the efficacy of therapy. A bone density test is most commonly performed on the lumbar spine, hip, and forearm, as these bones have been shown to generate the most reliable measurements for predicting fractures and monitoring treatment.

Density is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume.
If the rat ovariectomized, the rate probably has osteoporosis (T score of -2.5 or less). Assuming this is a bone density test, the injection of estrogen will increase bone density, bringing its T score back toward the range of osteopenia (-1 to -2.49) or within normal bone density range (1 to -0.99).
