Bone mineral density in estrogen deficient young women
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 05/07/09

Popat VB et al. - Women with POI have lower bone density compared to regularly menstruating women. Compared to Caucasians, minority women with estrogen deficiency are more likely to have BMD below the expected range for age. This racial disparity appears to be related to a combined effect of several modifiable risk factors. Delay in diagnosis of POI also contributes to reduced bone density by delaying proper therapy.
