Deterioration of bone microstructure by aging and menopause in Japanese healthy women: analysis by HR-pQCT

ConclusionsTrabecular and cortical bone microstructure were deteriorated markedly with age. Cortical thickness decreased after menopause and was most related to bone strength. Non-metric parameters give additional information about osteoporotic changes of trabecular bone.
