"In order to assess similarities and differences in women that suffer surgical versus natural menopause, a series of bone, clinical, and biochemical parameters was assayed in a clinical sample of 35 women with surgical menopause and 112 women with natural menopause. Biochemical parameters included hormones [parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the sex steroids estradiol and testosterone] and several markers of bone turnover measured in urine (N-telopeptide and calcium/creatinine ratio) or serum (osteocalcin, total alkaline phosphatase, total and ionic calcium, phosphate, and magnesium)."
"In addition to type of menopause, women were divided by years since menopause (ysm less than or equal to2 or >2)," investigators in Spain report.
"To detect differences and relationships between variables, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and linear regression analyses were used. Only N-telopeptide, one resorption marker, was significantly affected by the variable years since menopause less than or equal to or >2 (p
