Summary
Osteoporosis is a major health problem. It was hypothesized that isoflavone-containing
products may be a potential alternative to HRT for preventing bone loss during the menopausal
transition. We investigated whether one-year consumption of isoflavone-enriched foods
affected bone mineral density, bone metabolism and hormonal status in early postmenopausal
women in a randomized double-blind, placebo controlled parallel multi-centre trial.
