Osteopenia has multiple causes. Common causes and risk factors include

genetics (familial predisposition to osteopenia or osteoporosis, a family history of early bone loss, and other genetic disorders);
hormonal causes, including decreased estrogen (such as in women after menopause) or testosterone;
smoking;
excess alcohol;
thin frame;
immobility;
certain medications (such as corticosteroids, including prednisone) and antiseizure medications;
malabsorption due to conditions (such as celiac sprue);
and chronic inflammation due to medical conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis).
