Bone mineral density, cervical spine degeneration, head and neck posture, and neck pain in the post-menopausal females: A pilot study.

The purpose of the present study was to reveal the relationship between degenerative changes in the cervical spine, head and neck postures, neck pain, and bone mineral density (BMD) of the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine in post-menopausal females. In total, 116 females (mean age 60.4 ± 7....

In total, 116 females (mean age 60.4 ± 7.1 years; age range 50-80 years) were included.

The areal BMD of the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine were determined using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

Higher BMD seemed to be associated with more notable loss of the disc height at the level of C4-5.
