Nutritional Deficit?: The definition of osteopenia is that your bone density is in the lower 15% of young adult women. Think of Normal as getting a "C" in a class. Osteopenia is a "D". As a 30 yr old, you would want to ensure that you are getting at least 1500mg calcium and at least 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily. Walking briskly four times a week for 30-40 minutes. These are things that will build bone strength.

Several factors: Caffeine, smoking,lack of weight bearing exercise all contribute to thinning bones. Diet and low vitamin D can also contribute to thinning of the bones.
