reports, “Dairy consumption does not improve bone mineral density (BMD) or reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in women charting menopause,” investigators concluded in “a new analysis of the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN).” That substudy “started in 1996 and involved 3302 pre- or early perimenopausal women between 42 and 53 years of age,” and the “sample size for the annualized rate of BMD loss and fracture analysis involved 1955 women.” The findings were published online in the journal Menopause. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/931559
