claimDropout was 22%; however, the dropout rate was 41% for the 100 g Prune group compared to other groups (10% Control; 15% 50 g Prune; (p Conclusions A 50 g dose of daily dose of prunes can prevent loss of total hip BMD in postmenopausal women, without increased fat mass seen with the larger dose.

claimAbstract Objectives Dietary consumption of prunes has favorable impacts on bone health, however, more research is necessary to improve upon study designs and refine our understandings and determine whether unfavorable fat gain occurs with long-term treatment.
