LOS ANGELES, May 7 (UPI) -- Postmenopausal women with hot flashes and night sweats had lower lumbar and total hip bone mineral density, U.S. researchers found.
The study, published in the journal Menopause, found postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms -- which include hot flashes and night sweats -- had lower bone mineral density.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues analyzed data for 2,213 women between the ages of 42-52 who participated in the bone sub-study of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation.
UCLA study co-authors Dr. Carolyn J. Crandall, associate clinical professor of general internal medicine and health services research; Gail A. Greendale, professor of medicine in geriatrics; and Yan Zheng, of the division of general internal medicine and health services research, said they also found premenopausal women and early perimenopausal women who had vasomotor symptoms were found to have lower femoral neck bone mineral density than those without vasomotor symptoms.
