Research progress on the relationship between senile osteoporosis and sex hormones / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Senile osteoporosis is closely related to the level of sex hormones. Estrogen and androgen play important physiological roles in senile men and women with osteoporosis. Androgen can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts to promote bone formation and improve bone mineral density and bone mass. Estrogen can bind to estrogen receptors to directly regulate bone metabolism and reduce bone resorption. This article reviews the relationship between senile osteoporosis and sex hormones.
