TL;DR
Weight-bearing exercise led to significant increases above baseline in bone mineral content which were maintained with continued training in older, postmenopausal women, and with reduced weight- bearing exercise, bone mass reverted to baseline levels.
Abstract
Weight-bearing exercise led to significant increases above baseline in bone mineral content which were maintained with continued training in older, postmenopausal women. With reduced weight-bearing exercise, bone mass reverted to baseline levels. Further studies are needed to determine the threshold exercise prescription that will produce significant increases in bone mass.

Treatment of 63 oophorectomised women with oestrogen for five years prevented the reduction in bone mineral content observed in 57 women treated with a placebo preparation, and the expected biochemical effects of oestrogens therapy persisted for at least three years, and were compatible with a prolonged increase in parathyroid activity but a reduction inBone turnover.

Serum BGP appears to be a specific marker for bone formation and can predict the histological profile in PMO and should be valuable in assessing the effects of treatments that increase bone formation.

It is concluded that postmenopausal sex-hormone replacement measurably decreases age-related bone loss by suppressing bone turnover, resorption more than accretion, and calcium supplements produce the same effect but at the dose the authors used were slightly less effective.

Bone mass was measured prospectively in 73 women during the period immediately after menopause and after 2 years of follow-up to assess the protective effects of calcium supplements given alone or combined with low-dosage estrogen therapy.

The data show that before menopause little, if any, bone islost from the appendicular skeleton but substantial amounts are lost from the axial skeleton, and factors in addition to estrogen deficiency must contribute to pathogenesis of involutional osteoporosis in women.

This review offers a synthesis of the intermediary organization of the skeleton, which has indivisible quantum properties which isolated cells lack but which, when summed in bulk at the organ level, effectively mimic continuous functions and create most of the known features of skeletal physiology, anatomy, and disease.
