The role of oophorectomy in the development of osteoporosis was assessed retrospectively in 258 women who had been hysterectomized premenopausally for non-malignant disease. Bone density was assessed using the radiographic density of the third metacarpal. Oophorectomy before the age of 45 years was found to be associated with a significantly increased prevalence of osteoporosis within three to six years of operation. The bone density of women oophorectomized after the age of 45 years was indistinguishable three to six years after operation from that found in healthy women with intact ovaries. These findings confirm the major part played by loss of ovarian function in the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
对258名因非恶性疾病在绝经前接受子宫切除术的女性进行回顾性评估,以确定卵巢切除术在骨质疏松症发展中的作用。使用第三掌骨的放射密度评估骨密度。结果发现,45岁之前接受卵巢切除术的女性在术后三至六年内骨质疏松症的患病率显著增加。45岁之后接受卵巢切除术的女性在术后三至六年的骨密度与卵巢功能正常的健康女性无异。这些发现证实了卵巢功能丧失在绝经后骨质疏松症发展中起主要作用。
