Abstract
⺠Yerba Mate tea is widely consumed in South America, but its effects on bone are unknown. ⺠We compared bone mineral density of postmenopausal women who drink Yerba Mate tea and who do not have this habit. ⺠Bone mineral density at spine and hip was higher in Yerba Mate drinkers than in non-drinkers. ⺠In multivariate analysis, Yerba Mate consumption and body mass index were positively associated with bone mineral density.
