Popis: Although lactation is associated with transient bone loss and body weight changes, the unchanged TBS could highlight a limited effectiveness in detecting dynamic bone properties in the first year postpartum.To evaluate trabecular bone score (TBS) and bone mineral density (BMD) in postpartum women.This was a 12-month prospective cohort study with 40 lactating postpartum women and 44 non-pregnant women. The inclusion criteria were as follows: aged between 18 and 35 years old, an uncomplicated term (≥37 weeks) pregnancy with a single fetus, and no intention of becoming pregnant within 12 months. BMD measurements, including spine, hip, forearm and whole body, were performed by DXA at four different time points after delivery: (1) 1st month, (2) 3rd-4th month, (3) 6th-9th month, and (4) ≥ 12th month postpartum.BMD measurements showed a statistically significant decrease at spine (1.134 vs. 1.088 g/cmAlthough lactation is associated with transient bone loss and body weight changes, the unchanged TBS could highlight a limited effectiveness in detecting dynamic bone properties in the first year postpartum.
