Aging-associated osteoporosis is frequently seen in the elderly in clinic, but efficient managements are limited because of unclear nosogenesis. The current study aims to investigate the role of melatonin on senescent bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the underlying regulating mechanism.

Short Sleep Is Associated With Low Bone Mineral Density and Osteoporosis in the Women’s Health Initiative.

2020-02 Ochs-Balcom HM, Hovey KM, Andrews C, Cauley JA, Hale L, Li W, Bea JW, Sarto GE, Stefanick ML, Stone KL, Watts NB, Zaslavsky O, Wactawski-Wende J

Short sleep duration, recognized as a public health epidemic, is associated with adverse health conditions, yet little is known about the association between sleep and bone health. We tested the associations of usual sleep behavior and bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis.

Scientific basis for the potential use of melatonin in bone diseases: osteoporosis and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

2010-06 Sánchez-Barceló EJ, Mediavilla MD, Tan DX, Reiter RJ

The objective of this paper was to analyze the data supporting the possible role of melatonin on bone metabolism and its repercussion in the etiology and treatment of bone pathologies such as the osteoporosis and the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Melatonin may prevent bone degradation and promote bone formation through mechanisms involving both melatonin receptor-mediated and receptor-independent actions.
