Abstract
OBJECTIVES
We investigated the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and hormone therapy (HT) and its duration in postmenopausal women.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective study on 291 postmenopausal women who had their BMD and follow-up BMD measured in a university hospital. We analyzed BMD, HT types and HT duration according to clinical characteristics.
RESULTS
The mean age of the study subjects was 53.7 +/- 5.9 years. HT types and HT duration were not statistically related to improvement in BMD (P = 0.956, 0.483). But osteoporosis in patients with hormone therapy improves bone mineral density showed statistical significance (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION
HT types and HT duration did not have any effect on bone mineral density, but further prospective multicenter studies regarding HT should be considered for osteoporosis.
