I read or heard in a TV medical segment that bone goes through something like "shedding" cycles, and if one has the bone density test when bone is shedding, it will appear that the bone is thinner than it really is once the shedding has stopped and the new bone builds up.

Had a bone density test in 2005 and told I had osteopenia. Did not want to take any of the drugs and haven't. Going with calcium/D and lots of dairy.
