Aims: There is evidence that demographic trends in Southern Apulia are characterized by a huge proportion of elderly people relative to general population, resulting in an ageing index which is higher than in other Southern Italian regions and/or sub-regions. Within the PROF (Prevention of Osteoporotic Fractures) project, aimed to foster synergic efforts between researchers and clinicians, we investigated the correlation between early menopause and osteopenic or osteoporotic status in postmenopausal women by quantitative bone ultrasonic evaluation (QUS).

Abstract
Aims: There is evidence that demographic trends in Southern Apulia are characterized by a huge proportion of elderly people relative to general population, resulting in an ageing index which is higher than in other Southern Italian regions and/or sub-regions. Within the PROF (Prevention of Osteoporotic Fractures) project, aimed to foster synergic efforts between researchers and clinicians, we investigated the correlation between early menopause and osteopenic or osteoporotic status in postmenopausal women by quantitative bone ultrasonic evaluation (QUS).File in questo prodotto:
