Abstract
An increased fracture risk during follow-up was encountered in postmenopausal women with low serum androstenedione and androstenedione/SHBG ratio at baseline and a decreased fracture risk with high androstenedione/SHBG ratio. This study suggests that postmenopausal osteoporosis is influenced by lower levels of androgens.
