The Risks of Osteoporosis, Fracture and even mortal is greater if you have an Early Menopause.
More bad news for those of us who have been through an early menopause as this was the conclusion of a Swedish study that looked at the long-term effects of early menopause on mortality, risk of fragility fracture and osteoporosis and which was published in 'An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.'
They suggest that women who go through the menopause early are nearly twice as likely to suffer from osteoporosis in later life were also found to have a higher risk of fragility fracture and of mortality ie death.
However, these results found in women with an early menopause need to
be explored further as many other factors could affect this such as
medication, nutrition, smoking and alcohol consumption.
The good news is that now that we are aware of this, we can do all that we can to prevent osteoporosis as early as we can.
