Oral Contraceptives and Bone Mass
Young women who exercise regularly and use oral contraceptives may not get
the boost in bone strength seen in women who exercise and do not use oral contraceptives.
A recent study showed that while regular resistance training and aerobic exercise
over a two-year period strengthened bones in women aged 18 to 31, oral contraceptives
appeared to prevent the buildup of bone density.
Women who did not use oral contraceptives had higher bone mineral content at
skeletal sites throughout their body at two years compared with women who used
oral contraceptives.
