7. Decreased Fitness
A general decline in physical strength is often an early precursor to osteopenia. Weakened muscles, loss of balance and difficulty performing activities that require physical exertion are warning signs that bone density is likely to have declined along with general fitness.
Exercise at any age or state of health can do a lot to improve the loss of muscular strength. Resistance and weight-bearing exercise can also greatly improve muscle strength and bone density.
