The Impact of Hormonal Contraceptive Use and Lifestyle Factors on Fracture Risk and Bone Quality in Young Female Adults

The study on hand is based on a cross-sectional design and aims to acquire 1) descriptive data on the physical state and health condition of female soldiers in the German armed forces. 2) a possible influence of different contraceptive methods as well as physical activity, body composition, strength, nutrition, and hemoglobin levels on bone health should be investigated.
