Abstract
Women reporting VVA symptoms were included. Bone health profile was investigated in 61 subjects treated with OSP (OSPG) (60 mg/day) and compared with a control group (CG) (n = 67) over 12 months. In the CG, BMD and T-score statistically decreased at the femoral neck (FN), total femur (TF), and lumbar spine (L1-L4). In the OSPG, BMD decreased significantly at FN but tended to remain stable at TF and L1-L4. No changes were observed in bone mineral markers after one year in either group, except BAP, which decreased in OSPG. Long-term OSP treatment improves bone mineral markers at TF and LS and slows bone loss at FN compared to the control group. Overall, OSP exerts a protective effect on bone loss in healthy menopausal women with VVA.
