Osteoporosis is a major public health concern, especially in women. This study aims to identify early biomarkers from biochemical measurements of serum and urine for recognizing the development of osteoporosis and osteopenia in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. From the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) cohort, longitudinal study participants with normal bone density were enrolled and assessed for the association of baseline clinical and biochemical factors with osteoporosis development over 4 years. In addition, a cross-sectional study between normal bone density and osteopenia/osteoporosis was conducted to validate the risk factors found in the longitudinal cohort. Of the 5272 female participants in the KoGES cohort, 813 women (501 premenopausal and 312 menopausal) who had normal bone density at baseline were included in the longitudinal study. During the 4 years of follow-up, 64 patients developed osteoporosis and 354 developed osteopenia. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, serum calcium and urine uric acid levels were significantly associated with elevated osteoporosis risk in premenopausal and postmenopausal women, respectively (risk of osteoporosis by serum calcium levels in premenopausal women: 4.03 (1.09-14.93), p = 0.037; risk of osteoporosis by urine uric acid levels in postmenopausal women: 24.08 (1.79-323.69), p = 0.016). For the cross-sectional study, serum and urine parameters were compared between women with osteopenia or osteoporosis at baseline and those with normal bone density. Urine uric acid levels were found to be significantly higher in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women with bone loss than in women with normal bone density ( p &lt; 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). Uric acid level in urine may be an early marker for the development of osteoporosis in women, especially after menopause.
