CLEVELAND, US: The menopause is marked by alterations in reproductive hormone levels, and this can have adverse effects on bone health. Since chronic kidney disease (CKD) and tooth loss are both prevalent and significant health concerns in postmenopausal women, a recent study—the first of its kind—aimed to investigate the relationship between the two. It reported that CKD is significantly linked with tooth loss in postmenopausal women, especially in those aged between 66 and 79.
