As part of the PEKNO-study, trabecular bone density was measured by QCT, in blood samples of the luteal phase hormonal and bone metabolic parameters were measured, and cycle characteristics were documented by continuously monitoring with the help of a cycle monitor on > 45-year-old perimenopausal women. 45 women with initially normal bone density and 9 women with osteopenia showed differences in ovulation rate, luteal phase length and hormonal characteristics. The bone metabolism showed a response to certain hormonal changes with increased activity and subsequent loss of bone density.
