Return To Osteoporosis FAQ Archive   Why does bone mass start to decline in postmenopausal women? Answered By Editor Usually, a woman who is in the postmenopausal stage is affected by osteoporosis because at this stage, the woman's body stops producing estrogen. Another factor is that there is an imbalance between the volumes of the various bone components. These bone components are removed during normal metabolism which results in bone density loss. This condition usually occurs within the first ten years after menopause. This is why it is important for women to intake adequate calcium and vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis from getting worse or at least slow down the development of the condition. keywords: Osteoporosis | Bone Density | Bone Loss | Bone Mass | Menopause | Postmenopause | Women | Estrogen Natural Osteoporosis Dexa Bone Scan
