Osteopenia is the prelude to osteoperosis. Its basically the early, early stages of osteoperosis, but if caught can be "treated" to help prevent the advancement of to osteoperosis.
Its part of CF due to the inability to absorb Vitamin A & D as well as calcium efficiently to assure healthy & strong bones!
