Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Inflammatory Markers in Postmenopausal Patients

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effects of acute-phase reactants and other factors on osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and to investigate inflammation markers that can be used in early diagnosis. Materials and Methods: This study included 200 postmenopausal patients aged 40-65.

Patient demographics (age, parity, height, weight, body mass index (BMI - kg/m2), duration of menopause, education level [
