Healthy premenopausal women, who were exposed to household tobacco smoke during adolescence and young adulthood, are at risk of having lower than normal bone mineral
density.
Miriam Blum, M.D. and colleagues at Tufts University, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, investigated whether low mineral density may be one more health problem linked to environmental tobacco smoke exposure.
The researchers measured bone mineral density in 154 healthy, premenopausal women aged 40 to 45 years. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, they measured the bone mineral density of subjects’ total hip, femoral neck, lumbar spine and total body.
