POST-MENOPAUSAL $OElig;STROGENS PROTECT AGAINST FRACTURES OF HIP AND DISTAL RADIUS A Case-control Study

The risk of hip fracture in postmenopausal females with or without estrogen drug exposure.

“…A recent study of medical records showed no significant protective effect of conjugated estrogen exposure of six months or longer upon the hip and distal radius fracture experience of 157 matched case-control pairs of postmenopausal females. 20 However, in the same study, data collected from a standardized follow-up interview of 80 matched case-control pairs did show a significant protective effect of estrogen exposure upon the risk of hip fracture.…”

Does Hormone-Replacement Therapy Prevent Fractures in Early Postmenopausal Women?

“…However, studies about the HRT effect on forearm fracture are few and small. (12)(13)(14)(15) In addition, a Swedish case-control study (16) and our prospective cohort study (17) on risk factors for distal forearm fracture suggest that HRT prevents this fracture.…”

The effects of dietary acid stress on bone metabolism in young ovariectomized and intact rats

“…The fact that postmenopausal females are four times more likely than age-matched males to have severe osteoporosis has led to the theory that the reduction in circulating oestrogens accompanying menopause is a major factor affecting development of osteoporosis (Hutchinson et al 1979). This theory is supported by the increased incidence of osteoporosis in women with surgically induced menopause compared with age-matched, premenopausal women and by the decreased incidence of fractures of the hip and distal radius in postmenopausal women given oestrogen (Hutchinson et al 1979(Hutchinson et al ,1982.…”

“…This theory is supported by the increased incidence of osteoporosis in women with surgically induced menopause compared with age-matched, premenopausal women and by the decreased incidence of fractures of the hip and distal radius in postmenopausal women given oestrogen (Hutchinson et al 1979(Hutchinson et al ,1982. Draper et al (1980) found that ovariectomizing adult rats resulted in negative Ca balances which became more positive with time.…”
