Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xIGqEk. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Controlling for body size and composition, the authors examined the association between estrogen therapy and bone mineral density in older African-American and Caucasian women. In 1992-1998,443 African-American and 989 Caucasian women aged 45-87 years were assessed for medication use, laboratory variables, behavioral characteristics, and bone mineral density. The mean age was 61.3 (95% confidence interval : 60.3,62.3) years in African Americans and 71.0 (95% confidence interval : 70.4,71.7) years in Caucasians (P |
