Skull Bone May Hold Key To Tackling Osteoporosis

The thought has crossed my mind more than once that the skull bone, even in women/men who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis/osteopenia, is exceptionally strong. This article from RedOrbit.com discusses research being done into the skull bone, and the findings are helping researchers better understand this condition that affects half of women by the time they are in their 50's and about one fifth of men at some point in their lives. By the way, bioidentical hormones can greatly aid bone health, my last DEXA scan showed marked improvement in my levels from thre years earlier (taken just before I went on BHRT).
