تلوث الهواء يهدد عظام النساء بعد انقطاع الطمث

A recent American study revealed that exposure to air pollution may lead to a decrease in bone density among women, particularly in the post-menopausal stage. The study was conducted over nine years and included 278 women, where the effects of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide on bone health were monitored.

The results showed that these pollutants negatively affect the density of certain minerals within the bones in various parts of the body, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. The researchers pointed out that these findings serve as a call for early monitoring of any damage to bones caused by air pollution, especially among women in this age group.

This study highlights the importance of taking measures to reduce exposure to air pollution, in addition to raising awareness about its potential effects on bone health.
