The cross-sectional association between chemerin and bone health in peri/pre and postmenopausal women: results from the EPIC-Potsdam study

Conclusion: The present study provides evidence for an inverse association between chemerin and BUA in peri/premenopausal women. Therefore, the study suggests that high chemerin concentrations may minimize peak bone mass and thereby may promote age-related bone loss. Further studies are needed to investigate the role of chemerin in bone homeostasis in peri/premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
