Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationships between tooth loss and factors like skeletal bone mass, years since menopause, education, smoking, calcium intake, and pregnancy in postmenopausal osteoporotic women in Turkey, involving 1,171 participants aged 40-86.
- Participants were divided into three groups based on the number of remaining teeth, with significant differences observed in educational levels and body mass index, and lower dietary calcium intake and bone density in women with fewer teeth.
- Findings indicated that women with no teeth (group 1) had the worst lumbar bone mineral density and content compared to those with some teeth, with those having more than ten teeth (group 3) showing the highest educational levels and smoking
