Endogenous sex steroids, weight change and rates of hip bone loss in older men: the MrOS study.
Osteoporos Int. 2006; (9): 1329-36
Lower levels of endogenous sex steroids or declines in these hormones may contribute to the increased rates of bone loss observed in older adults experiencing weight loss. We hypothesized that among older men with weight loss, higher rates of bone loss at the hip would be observed in men with lower baseline bioavailable sex steroids or those with greater declines in these hormones.
