What is the connection between the endocrine system and osteoporosis? What population is affected the greatest by osteoporosis? How can you apply the knowledge of the endocrine system to caring for patients with osteoporosis?

Respuesta :

Endocrine system regulates hormone production, Estrogen is one of the hormones
Estrogen regulates women's reproductive cycle. Also plays role in keeping bones strong n healthy. After menopause estrogen levels dramatically falls and women experience bone loss and osteoporosis. So, women population affected the greatest.
