Some studies have suggested that premenopausal women show a decline in bone mass in function of age while other studies have not. Bone density in the spinal column and proximal femur (neck, Ward's triangle and trochanter) in 75 healthy white women between the ages of 30 and 49 without a history of irregular menstrual periods was correlated with age, weight, height and body mass. No statistically significant decline in bone density with age was seen during the premenopausal period. There was a positive correlation between bone density in the spine and proximal femur and weight and body mass indices. Our results suggest that healthy women do not show loss before menopause and it also seems that obesity has a favorable effect on these women's bone mass.
一些研究表明，绝经前女性的骨量会随年龄增长而下降，而其他研究则未发现此现象。对75名年龄在30至49岁之间、无月经周期不规律病史的健康白人女性的脊柱和股骨近端（颈部、沃德三角区和转子）的骨密度与年龄、体重、身高和体重指数进行了相关性分析。在绝经前期，未观察到骨密度随年龄增长有统计学意义的下降。脊柱和股骨近端的骨密度与体重及体重指数之间呈正相关。我们的研究结果表明，健康女性在绝经前不会出现骨质流失，而且肥胖似乎对这些女性的骨量有有利影响。
