Oral Contraceptive Use Significantly Associated With A Lower Fracture Risk In Women, Study Indicates.

reports, “Oral contraception use was significantly associated with a lower fracture risk in women, particularly in younger women taking oral contraceptives (OC) for more than one year,” researchers found after analyzing data on some “6,485 women in 135 physicians’ offices in the United Kingdom who sustained fractures between January 2010 and December 2015,” then matching those women “to a control group (n=6,485) based on age, index year, and follow-up.” The findings were published online in Osteoporosis International. http://www.endocrinologyadvisor.com/bone-metabolism/fracture-risk-reduced-with-otc/article/664085/
