Wrinkles might be linked to bone density in post-menopausal women

A new study performed at Yale University suggests an association between wrinkles and bone density. Researchers examined the faces and necks of 114 post-menopausal women and compared them to bone mass and density from X-ray and ultrasound measurements. The results, presented at the Endocrine Society Meeting this week, showed that worse wrinkles were associated with a lower bone density score. In addition, rigid skin was associated with a higher bone density.
