-
Skin and bone share similarities in terms of biochemical composition.
-
Some authors have hypothesized that their properties could evolve concomitantly with age, allowing the estimation of the parameters of one from those of the other.
-
We performed a systematic review of studies reporting the correlation between skin and bone parameters in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
-
Fourteen studies – including 1974 patients – were included in the review.
-
Three of these studies included two groups of participants – osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic – in order to compare skin parameters between them: two studies found a significant difference between the two groups and one did not.
-
Eleven of these studies included one population of interest and compared its skin and bone parameters in a continuous manner: eight studies compared dermal thickness to bone mineral density (seven found a significant correlation [R = 0.19–0.486] and one did not); two studies compared skin elasticity to bone mineral density (both found a significant correlation [R = 0.44–0.57); and one study compared skin collagen to bone mineral density and found a significant correlation (R = 0.587).
-
It can be assumed that the estimation of skin alterations from ageing could help in estimating concomitant bone alterations.
