The level of sex hormones affects the likelihood of bone fractures
A bone health is receiving increasing attention as people age, particularly among older men. The aging process brings about numerous changes, including a decline in hormonal levels. Hormonal changes significantly impact bone mineralization and overall bone density. The medical community is increasingly recognizing that hormonal imbalances, particularly concerning sex hormones, may be associated with an increased risk of fractures. Sex hormones, such as estradiol and testosterone, play a crucial role in maintaining bone health. Low hormonal levels and binding proteins, such as SHBG, can influence the likelihood of fractures. Research shows that by measuring hormone levels, clinical practice can predict fracture risk, allowing for improved prevention and treatment strategies. The…
