The present study includes 70 healthy, immediately postmenopausal women stratified according to future rate of bone loss. The stratification was performed by means of four parameters of bone turnover: serum alkaline phosphatase, fasting urinary calcium and hydroxyproline, and body weight, used in an equation developed in a previous study. After the stratification the women were followed without intervention for the next 24 months, with bone mass measurements every 3 months. The bone loss estimated at baseline by means of the equation correlated with the bone loss measured in the forearm (y = 0.72x - 1.52; r = 0.61; P less than 0.001). Plasma bone gla protein (BGP, osteocalcin), which is a new specific marker of bone formation, was now added to the model (replacing body weight). This increased the diagnostic validity (y = x; r = 0.76; P less than 0.001). From the present study we conclude that the postmenopausal bone loss can be predicted by means of four biochemical parameters determined in plasma and urine in women just after the menopause.
