Bone Mineral Density and Trabecular Bone Score Changes Throughout Menopause in Women With HIV
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10747369/
The objectives of this study were to describe the trajectories of bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) changes throughout pre-menopause (reproductive phase and menopausal transition) and post-menopause...
These results suggested that bone health should be assessed with BMD and TBS simultaneously, as they were associated with different risk factors. Both these biomarkers significantly decreased over time throughout the menopausal periods.
