4. Poor Posture
A curvature of the spine close to the shoulders is often caused by fractures in the bones of the spine. Those with osteopenia are more likely to suffer these fractures, as bone loss in the spine can result in fractures under circumstances where very little effort is exerted, such as picking something up off the floor.
Experiencing a number of these fractures or losing height over a short period is an indication of a problem in the bones of the spine.
