claimThe effect of prune intervention in postmenopausal women was borderline significant at the lumbar spine, with BMD slightly higher in the intervention group (SMD [95% CI] = 1.30 [-0.03, 2.63]; I 2 = 98%; p Conclusions: Our meta-analysis provides preliminary evidence of modest skeletal benefits associated with consumption of 50-100 g of prunes, particularly at the lumbar spine, a trabecular-rich site.
