Depression and low bone mineral density: The correlation among Chinese (>> click to go to the journal's website)
Asian Journal of Psychiatry, 10/01/10
Kurmanji JM et al. – Depression is usually associated with changes in the endogenous hormonal system. The most important hormonal modifications are elevation of the serum cortisol level as well as the reduction of endogenous sex hormone levels. These changes have advanced side effects on a bone metabolism and bone remodelling process, which consequently, lead to the declining in bone mineral density and increase the risk of bone fractures, which is reported by current studies. Depression may be associated with low bone mineral density among the Malaysian Chinese.
