Abstract

Objective: During menopause, decrease in estrogen levels as well as in androgen levels is the main cause of mineral loss in bone. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between mineral density of femur neck-lumbar vertebral bones and endogen sex steroid hormone levels in postmenopausal healthy women.
