Bone Mineral Density and the Risk of Alzheimer Disease
Arch Neurol 62:107-111, Tan,Z.S.,et al, 2005

Article Abstract
Low femoral neck BMD was associated with approximately 2 times the risk of AD and all-cause dementia in women but not men, suggesting the possibility that cumulative estrogen exposure may influence the risk of developing AD. Additionally studies are needed to confirm this correlation.
