Can A Woman's Wrinkles Predict Bone Loss..?
Dear Reader,
Yet another reason, as if we all needed one, to despise wrinkles. Researchers have found that the worse a woman's wrinkles are early on in menopause, the lower her bone density is likely to be. It's not a cause and affect type relationship, but rather an association between wrinkled skin and bone health.
While bone loss has no symptoms at first, eventually bones become so brittle
that they can break from everyday falls. And after the age of 30, the bones of
the body just don't regenerate themselves the way they once did.
Most women (and men too) lose about one percent of their bone mass per year as part of the natural course of aging. At menopause, women start to lose more bone than men, between 2% and 7% of bone mass each year.
For the study, the team, lead by reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Lubna Pal, who is also an associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine, turned their attention on 114 women who were in their late 40s to early 50s who had come from the bigger Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS).
All the subjects had entered menopause sometime in the three years leading up to the start of the study, but none of them were taking hormone therapy, and none had any cosmetic procedures done on their faces.
The researchers tested the skin firmness in both forehead and cheek with a durometer, a device that was able to tally the number (and depth) of wrinkles on the face and neck. Testing bone density was done using dual x-ray absorptionmetry (DEXA) and a portable ultrasound machine that examine the heel.
They saw that the firmer the face and forehead, the greater a subject's bone density was. The more wrinkled the face, the lower the bone density measurement. This held across areas including the lumbar spine, heel and hip.
What's more, the association remained even after the researchers accounted for other factors that are known to impact bone density - age and body composition for example.
Admittedly the findings are very preliminary.
The researchers speculated that because skin and bone share some common tissue architecture, how skin looks in menopausal women could be related to the density of bones as well. Both bone and skin do share the same building block - a protein you've come to know (thanks to cosmetics ads) as collagen.

Can A Woman's Wrinkles Predict Bone Loss..? Continued...
Changes in collagen due to age could help to explain both the unsightly wrinkling
and sagging of the skin and the deterioration of bones that occurs at the same
time. The Arthritis Foundation says that almost half of the lifetime loss of
bone mass for a woman comes in the decade after she goes through menopause.
Other experts find the link between wrinkles and bones a surprising one. Dr.
Elton Strauss, a professor and chief of orthopedic trauma/adult reconstruction
at Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests that those who have lots of wrinkles
usually spend lots of time in the sun, and this is a natural way to get lots
of vitamin D, good for bones. He had expected to see the opposite effect.
There are also variables like sun exposure, what you eat, and many other things
when looking at bone loss. Wrinkles may only be a part of a much bigger picture.
People need to understand that bone loss can be brought about by other factors
including what they've been eating (diet rich in calcium/vitamin D), how much
time you spend in natural sunlight, and how active (swimming and walking are
ideal) you've been over a lifetime.
Follow up work that lasts a longer period, is needed to confirm the findings
of this most recent study.
To your good health,
