Osteopenia Osteoporosis - learn all you can

Osteopenia Osteoporosis affects many women and men over age 45. Despite it being so common, there is a great deal of ignorance about these conditions.  If you go through this web site in a systematical manner you will learn a great deal.

I often advise readers to begin with the CAUSES page because you can make great progress in building NEW bone, if you know all the reasons why you have been losing bone.  Sometimes it is just a case of advancing years and a lowering of estrogen or testosterone BUT more often than not, there are several other causes at work.  Go to the Causes of Osteopenia Osteoporosis now.
