Key Points
Most blind women exhibited significant 24-hour rhythms for urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, with 91% showing the pattern.
Fewer women had significant bone resorption rhythms, with 57% showing a distinct NTx rhythm over 24 hours, indicating variation.
The study involved 35 blind women across different reproductive stages, with data collected from urine samples over 48 hours.
Results indicated no direct influence of light or reproductive status on NTx rhythms, pointing to a need for further research.

Implication
Exploratory study examines bone resorption marker NTx in relation to melatonin levels in blind women, suggesting limited influence of light.
