ABSTRACT
The differences between osteoporosis, osteopenia and osteomalacia are settle in this paper, referring that the first is most notable for disorders caused on the skeleton and general health of patients who suffered it. Osteopenia is a more frequent condition and could be consider the step prior to the osteoporosis, characterized for a decrease in the bone metabolism and its ability to turnover but still without changes in its structure. In most cases it is unadvertised and therefore not treated. Osteomalacia consist in a faulty mineralization of the newly formed bone matrix of the skeleton. The use of this term is reserved for disorders of adult skeletal mineralization, but when it happen in children with their skeleton growing the disease is known as rickets.
