Miller Brian E. Osteopenia and osteoporosis do not usually cause any symptoms. Sometimes, a fracture is the first sign of either condition. Height loss is a common symptom of osteopenia.
Once a person reaches peak adult height, it is normal for them to lose height as they age. However, losing more height than normal may be a sign of an underlying issue with bone health.
People with osteopenia can be at risk of fractures. If a person over the age of 50 years falls from a low height, such as standing height, and breaks a bone, it may indicate a bone issue. They will need to undergo a bone density test to check for osteopenia or osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can cause the bones to become very fragile, and people may experience fractures from very slight knocks or minor activity, such as:. Osteoporosis can cause vertebrae in the spine to collapse.
Symptoms of vertebral collapse include:. According to a article , there are two main reasons people may develop osteopenia — not reaching their peak bone mass, which usually occurs in their 20s, and losing bone mass after reaching their peak bone mass. A few factors can prevent people from reaching peak bone mass, including genetics. Additionally, certain conditions may prevent the bones from absorbing enough calcium, thus preventing people from reaching peak bone mass.
These conditions include:. Individuals who have reached their peak bone mass may lose bone mass as they age or if they lose estrogen through menopause. Certain factors may increase the risk of osteoporosis, such as:. Doctors use bone mineral density tests to check for osteopenia or osteoporosis. They may use a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry DEXA scan to check for bone mineral density throughout the body and in areas that may be more likely to fracture.
