Abstract

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) usually happens five to ten years following a womans menopause, and some women over 50 in China suffer from PMOP. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and aerobics combined with resistance training are the two promising osteoporosis interventions, but few studies have compared their efficacy. The mechanisms by which exercise treatment and hormone replacement therapy affect bone mineral density (BMD) are examined in this review and other health parameters in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients. As studied in this paper, estrogen improves osteoporosis. However, risks such as venous thromboembolism limit the long-term use of HRT. In terms of exercise therapy, a direct comparison of aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise and HRT showed that supervised exercise improved BMD more than HRT and that exercise also boosted metabolism and avoided the risks of HRT. In conclusion, aerobic and resistance training provides a safer alternative to HRT for managing postmenopausal osteoporosis, and further studies should optimize exercise regimens.
