Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:

The educational aim of the article is to provide insights into the long-term changes in bone mineral density (BMD) following menopause and to identify factors that influence BMD. It seeks to enhance understanding among healthcare professionals and researchers about the significance of hormone replacement therapy, body mass index (BMI), and other variables on postmenopausal bone health, ultimately aiming to inform prevention and management strategies for osteoporosis in women.
