the face of a woman she can predict bone fracture, the risk that the new U.S. study shows wrinkles on Wednesday.

Yale University researchers found that if a woman's face and neck, severe wrinkles, she will face bone fracture, due to higher risk of low bone density.

Researchers in many places in the U.S. early 114 postmenopausal women, measured the women in the face and neck skin, and the use of visual equipment to assess how rigid skin.

"We found that deterioration of skin wrinkles deepen and between subjects with low bone density, said: "Lubna Pal, the study's lead author, in obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive Associate Professor, Yale University School of Medicine Hospital.

"Worse, wrinkles, small bone density, this relationship is known to influence age or factors unrelated to bone mass, " Parr said.

Protein levels in the skin and bone hooks, and in the menopause, the loss of collagen and bone density helps reduce wrinkles, according to the study.

The researchers hope that this preliminary study can provide a condition, such as early detection of osteoporosis of a new perspective.

"Our finding that the skin's appearance and physical properties of bone quality that reflects concern because it can help clinicians determine the 'clear' no expensive tests, the fracture risk in postmenopausal women, " Parr said.
