Yes, that is a TRUE statement.
Trabecular bone has a high turnover rate and is most susceptible to estrogen deficiency.
Important things to remember abour trabecular bone include:
Trabecular bone will become thin and over time can perforate or become detached from its surrounding bone.
Also, the number of trabeculae decreases as the trabecular bone mass is lost. If enough trabecular bone becomes detached, it will weaken the bone which can eventually lead to breaks or fractures.
