World Osteoporosis Day 2024 and Menopause

Menopause

Is there an association between menopause and bone density?

Fact 13 in 25 Facts About Your Bones and Osteoporosis: 13. the (United States) Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) note:

“Women lose up to 20 percent of their bone density in the five-to-seven years after menopause”.

Premature Menopause

Is there an association between premature menopause and bone loss?

In How To Prevent Osteoporosis After Menopause the (United States) Cleveland Clinic note:

“But typical menopause happens between age 45 and 55, so if you enter menopause before then, you’re also at risk for bone loss at an earlier age than is standard. That includes:

  • Premature menopause (before age 40)
  • Early menopause (before age 45)
  • Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), formerly called “primary ovarian failure”
  • Medical menopause, whether surgically induced or as a result of medical treatment, like chemotherapy”.

Health Care Provider

What if I think I may be at risk for osteoporosis?

If you think you may be at risk for osteoporosis, it may be in your best interest to choose to talk to your health care provider about this.

In About Osteoporosis: Have Risk Factors? Talk To Your Doctor, Ask for Testing the IOF note:

“If you are over the age of 50 and you have one or more risk factors you should discuss these with your doctor and ask for an assessment of your bone health status. Lifestyle changes may be recommended and, for those at high risk, medication may be prescribed for optimal protection against fractures”.
