Every OA/OP sites list the two male-specific causes of secondary BMD loss: low testosterone and Prostate Cancer.

Can anyone verify if early stage or non-metastatic Prostate Cancer causes bone loss?

Obviously, any man treated with hormone-ablution is at risk, because low-testosterone is a risk-factor. However, I have found only one article (abstract) which claims that a high PSA and/or prostatic adenocarcinoma itself is correlated with OA/OP. (DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2004.03.036) I don't have access to the article, but only 34 men were tested and prostate cancer is not often diagnosed in younger men, so I am skeptical that age-related factors are not more implicated than high PSA.

If high PSA score/PC (at any stage) is a risk factor--what is the association? What the prostate gland contribute but ejaculate-payload?

If I am correct, the sites should specify that PC Treatment with hormone production is a cause and not PC alone!

The abstract concludes by recommending that men over 70 with a high PSA and slight frame should be tested for BMD. Duh?

Help-there's enough mind-f with this issue!
