Description
Summary:Osteoporosis is infrequent in young premenopausal women and is often associated with secondary disorders. However, idiopathic osteoporosis may be found in this setting and few data are known on this condition. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics and bone remodelling abnormalities in premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis. 28 premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis (aged 38.3+/-7.6 years) were included. The patients had one or more fragility fractures and/or decreased bone mass (z-score
