Mr. lybrate-user, At 77 years, it is difficult correct osteopenia. He can be put on Vitamin D 3 and Calcium supplements, plus some regular exercise. Brisk walking is an ideal one. A healthy lifestyle benefits osteopenia patient very effectively. Diet containing dairy products, like cheese, curds, milk is useful. Plus consuming green vegetables also helps. Most important is to keep active. Thanks.
