First, I don't know your age but osteopenia is very common.
Second, by "bone strength," are you referring to bone quality versus bone density?
I think most of us are still going by bone density as shown by DEXA scores, despite the imperfections of the test.
If there is bone quality but substantial loss of bone density, are you so sure you have cause to worry less/ And what is the correlation between quality and density for most of us?

I can't speak for others but, in the video, a case is cited of a male with osteoporosis (by BMD) measure) but good bone strength so is not taking drugs . I'd prefer to have both measures be good of course but, if I had to chose, I'd opt for good bone strength over good BMD. I mean the Miami condominium structures had to come down because of loss of integrity in the concrete strength. If density alone were the only variable, they could have patched 'sick' concrete to augment density. That's a metaphor not an exact analogy but makes sense to me.
