English term or phrase: osteopenia
It is a patological condition of the bones, that probably makes them brittle.
Thank you.
Also: USP (United States Pharmacopoeia), does it have any official equivalent in Spanish?
Thank you very much

Spanish translation:osteopenia
Explanation:
is the same in Spanish and English because it is derived from Latin. USP is not translated, but you could explain it in parentheses as farmacopea de los EEUU. Hope this helps!;)
