Author: H KAnswer:
Reduction of bone mass/ density leading to increase in risk of fracture. WHO defined it as BMD<-2.5 SD (bone density) and >-1 (osteopenia) but not reliable since 1/3 of females get vertebral fractures and are missed A better definition is Skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing increased risk of fracture
