Decreased levels of oestrogen causes osteoporosis. True or false?
A. True
B. False
I have been asked this question in final exam.
My question comes from Disorders in Muscular and Skeletal System in division Locomotion and Movement of Biology – Class 11
Correct choice is A. True
To explain I would say: Osteoporosis is a disorder of the skeletal system. It leads to a reduction in bone mass and increases the chances of the patient getting fractures. Reduced oestrogen level is a common cause.
