Body mass index over 33 kg/m2 is associated with lowest risk for hip fracture in both sexes.Aim: Investigate overweight influence on bone mineral density of hip bone and lumbar spine in overweight postmenopausal women.Material and methods: Postmenopausal women N=100, without co-morbidity, 48–88 years of age, divided in two groups: grou...

Recent studies have suggested that subjects receiving thyroxine replacement therapy are in potentially increased risk of osteoporosis. We set out to measure bone mineral densities by ultrasound bone densitometry (UBMD) in three groups: group A of post-menopausal women (N=25) mean age 65 (±14), group B of women in generative period (N=20) mean age 41(±11), and group C (N=18) male mean age 54, receiving thyroxine replacement therapy during two year...
