Bone mineral density in premenopausal women with major depressive disorder

Abstract

This cross-sectional study investigated whether a group of unmedicated patients with major depressive disorder, single episode, had decreased bone mineral density (BMD). The BMD at the lumbar spine and proximal femur in 25 premenopausal women with major depressive disorder and 15 normal women was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Bone turnover markers and serum cortisol levels were also evaluated for each subject. As compared with values in the normal women, the mean BMD in the depressed women was significantly lower at the lumbar spine and at all sites of the proximal femur. There was no statistically significant difference between serum cortisol levels and bone turnover markers except for significantly higher urinary excretion of deoxypyridinoline cross-links in the patients compared with the controls. In conclusion, depressed women may have decreased BMD even at the very early stages of the illness, and this possibility should be taken into consideration in treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
