Health | Once peak adult bone mass is reached, bone turnover is stable in men and women such that bone formation and bone resorption are balanced. (references) | |
In women, resorption rates increase and bone mass declines beginning with the fall in estrogen production that is associated with the onset of menopause. (references) | ||
Under these circumstances, the rate of bone loss may be rapid, which is in part related to an increase in bone resorption accompanied by a decrease in bone formation. (references) | ||
