BACKGROUND: Low bone mineral density in late postmenopausal women has been associated with increased nontrauma mortality. We investigated whether bone mass in women soon after menopause was also associated with the risk of mortality in later life.METHODS: Between 1977 and 1988, two samples of healthy women were enrolled; one group soon after the menopause (age 50 +/- 2 years [mean +/- SD], n = 309) and another later after menopause (age 70 +/- 2 years, n = 754). The baseline visit in eluded a medical examination and a measurement of bone mineral content in the distal forearm. In 1994, vital status was checked. All causes of death were registered, excluding those that were due to trauma or suicide. Multivariate relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI)were determined.RESULTS: In the early postmenopausal group, each decrease of one SD (0.4 g/cm) in bone mineral content was associated with a 43% increase in mortality (RR = 1.4; 95% CI 1.0 to 2.0; P
