Ageing of Bone Structure and the Risk of Osteoporosis in the Menopausal Transition

Purpose: The purpose of the research was to study the relationship between menopausal status and bone structure during the menopausal transition.
Methods: A random sample of 1932 Hungarian women was enrolled in the study. Bone mass was estimated by the Drinkwater-Ross method. Bone structure parameters were assessed by a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) device. High and very high risk of osteoporosis was identified by using the thresholds of QUS parameters.
Results: By considering the changes in QUS parameters and bone mass by age and reproductive age an intensive, menopause-related change from the late 40s and then another significant change from the beginning of the 70s were observed in bone. The bon... view more»
