Passive and active smoking may be equivalent risk factors for osteoporosis in women, according to a study conducted by Italian researchers. A group at the Federico II University of Naples analyzed rates of osteoporosis in women diagnosed with the disease using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans. They found that women exposed to environmental tobacco smoke had similar rates of the disease as those who actively smoked.
