Article Synopsis
- Sclerostin, produced by osteocytes, regulates bone mass, but its determinants in a large population are not well understood.
- The study aimed to establish normal serum sclerostin levels in healthy premenopausal women, investigate changes with age, and assess the impact of menopausal status on sclerostin levels, involving 1803 women aged 20 to 79.
- Findings showed serum sclerostin levels increased with age and were higher in postmenopausal women, with various factors like age, hormone levels, and time since menopause influencing these levels.
