Overall 120 asthmatic women aged from 42 to 55 years (mean age 50,25±0,38 years) were assessed. Patients were divided into four groups: I gr. – 30 patients with intermittent asthma, II gr. – 28 patients with mild persistent asthma, III gr. – 32 patients with moderate persistent asthma, IV gr. – 30 patients with severe persistent asthma. Control gr.: 28 perimenopausal women without BA (mean age 50,82±0,67 years).Physical examination, serum levels of follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH), estradiole, progesterone were performed. Osteoporosis was detected by ultrasound bone densitometry (T-score).Results. There were not authentic differences in levels of sex and gonadotropic hormones in patients of I gr. and II gr. compared with control gr. Patients of III gr. had a tendency to increase of estradiole level. Patient of IV gr. had authentically lower concentration of FSH (p=0,005), estradiole (p=0,001), and progesterone (p=0,001). Patients with severe BA have the authentically highest incidence of osteoporosis – 46,67 % compared with women of the control gr. – 14,29 % (p=0,006), patients with intermittent BA – 20 %, mild and moderate BA – 17,85 % and 31,25 % respectively. We received positive correlation between estradiole level and T-score (r=0,44, p=0,001).Conclusion. Perimenopausal women with severe asthma have a necessity of early detection of sex hormones disorders, correction of hormonal status to prevent osteoporosis.
