From the Paper:
"Primary osteoporosis in older adults is referred to as involutional osteoporosis, and Khosla, Riggs and Melton identify two types of osteoporosis in this category. Type one is postmenopausal osteoporosis, and it is primarily found in women 15 to 20 years after they have gone through menopause. Estrogen deficiency is fingered as the triggering mechanism, but since the majority of post-menopausal women don't actually develop osteoporosis, there have to be other factors present as well."More papers on Osteoporosis:
