A new study published in Scientific Reports has found that higher dietary choline consumption is linked to greater bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women, a group highly vulnerable to osteoporosis. Since the accelerated bone loss caused by estrogen deficiency during menopause, identification of modifiable dietary factors such as choline is important for establishing osteoporosis prevention strategies. The study was conducted by Jincheng and colleagues.

The study involved 4,160 postmenopausal women aged 50 years and above with no exclusion based on income or ethnicity. The information was captured in six cycles of the NHANES from 2007 through 2018. Researchers used weighted linear regression models to test how cumulative dietary choline consumption was associated with lumbar
