Postmenopausal osteoporosis and atheroma
Joint Bone Spine, 2006Epidemiological studies have established a significant association between two major health problems, osteoporosis and atheroma, which is independent from age, gender, and other cardiovascular risk factors. Bone loss and the development of calcific deposits within vessel walls occur concomitantly.

ESTROGENS AND POSTMENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1976A model for the development of osteoporosis is presented and the tre atment of the condition with estrogens is discussed. It appears that an age-related reduction in circulating estrogens accompanies menopausal bone loss. However this loss is more directly attributable to the lack of parathyroid hormone (PTH) while estrogens play a role in the bony ...

Postmenopausal osteoporosis and alendronate
Maturitas, 2004Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic disorder associated with a decreased bone mass and resistance. Bisphosphonates suppress bone resorption and bone turnover by a mechanism that depends on their structure. They are characterized by low gastrointestinal absorption. In postmenopausal women, alendronate (ALN) reduces bone resorption markers and increases

Management of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Annual Review of Medicine, 2015A hallmark of menopause, which follows the decline in the ovarian production of estrogen, is the aggressive and persistent loss of bone mineral and structural elements leading to loss of bone strength and increased fracture risk.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1987Prevention of osteoporosis is clearly the preferred approach, since treatment of the established disorder is less than satisfactory. However, accurate identification of those at risk for fractures is impossible at present. By judicious use of risk assessment and the addition of bone mass measurements in the postmenopausal patient, the physician can ...
