Growth Hormone And  Bone Mineral Density in Healthy Aged Women and Men

In a 2002 study submitted to the Journals of Gerontology, it was found that the administration of GH to 125 healthy woman and men did, in fact, increase bone mineral density. The study found that aging is associated with concomitant declines in activity of the growth hormone (GH) and gonadal steroid axes, and in bone mineral density (BMD), in both sexes. Long-term estrogen replacement slows bone loss and prevents fractures in postmenopausal women, whereas the effects of supplementation of GH or testosterone on bone metabolism and BMD in aged individuals remains uncertain.

The study conluded that  short-term administration of HRT exerts beneficial effects on bone metabolism.
