Femora of Women with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) Exhibit Reduced Strength and Misalignment with the Transmitted Vertical Forces from the Upper Body

CONCLUSION: Alongside lower BMD at multiple sites, the femora of women with POI demonstrate reduced strength and a misalignment with forces transmitted from the upper body. Further research is needed to establish the role of these newly identified features and their role in fracture risk prediction in this population.PMID:38064575 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad158
