High Cholesterol, Weaker Bones?

High cholesterol could put you at risk for osteoporosis. In a recent study at Italy's University of Milan, postmenopausal women with LDL (or bad) cholesterol above 160, the level experts consider high, were twice as likely to have weakened bones as women with lower LDL. Research conducted at the UCLA suggests that cholesterol accumulates near new bone cells and prevents them from growing. The good news: cholesterol-lowering drugs seem to improve bone density.
