Loss of bone density usually occurs as hormones decrease, though some medications or medical treatments can be disruptive. Women can often have rapid bone loss post menopause. One of the primary reasons this happens is hormone reductions which cause an increase in inflammation, specifically Nuclear Factor Kappa-b (NFK-b). This causes a genetically driven increase in the osteoclast cells that remove minerals from the bones. While osteoclast cells are part of the normal bone remodeling process along with the mineral adding osteoblast cells, this menopausal initiated imbalance is a major contributor to bone loss. The other major factor is significant post menopausal reduction in the formation of the most abundant protein in the body, collagen. Since the bones are approximately 90% collagen, when combined with elevated osteoclast cells, it becomes clear how bone density can be lost.
