Aim:To determine the relationship between menopause and bone mineral density. Material and methods:The study included a total of 200 postmenopausal women who were separated into two groups: Group A, consisting of 100 subjects who had menopause before the age of 50 (including age 50), and Group B, consisting of 100 subjects who experienced menopause beyond the age of 50. The research only included postmenopausal women, as determined by the modified Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW) staging approach. Results:The mean age of menopause onset was 48.88 ± 2.63 for Group A and 54.74 ± 2.87 for Group B. The distribution test revealed a data distribution that is not normal. Nevertheless, we observed no statistically significant disparity in the same variables between the two groups. In group A, the total mass (measured in kilograms) showed a high and significant link with BMI, whereas it had a moderate and significant correlation with height, percentage of body fat, and the A/G ratio. there was a weak but statistically significant correlation between total body mass and BMI. There is no variable that shows a correlation with bone mineral density (BMD).In Group A, the variable total mass exerted a substantial impact on the A/G ratio (18%), percentage of body fat (53%), and particularly on BMI (79%). The body mass index (BMI) had a significant impact on the percentage of body fat (58%), whereas the adiposity-to-gynoid (A/G) ratio showed a correlation of 18%. The T-score of the hip is solely affected by the percentage of body fat (5%).Group B had a significant impact of mass on age at menopause (10%) and BMI (88%). Conclusion: No significant correlation was found between the investigated factors and bone mineral density (BMD) in the menopausal group aged 50 years and above. Therefore, we may infer that while the groups had comparable outcomes, the group experiencing menopause before the age of 50 exhibited the most significant correlations between the factors and their impact on bone mineral density (BMD), particularly in the hip region.
