A member asked:
How do hormones regulate bone remodeling and osteoporosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes hormones work: Female hormones increase bone density, and the maximum increase is between 9 to 15 years of age. Loss of hormones in women and men for any cause produces loss of bone density of 3% per year for the first year or two then 1% per year.
