What you may not realize is that your wrinkles can also reveal potential health concerns. Take a look at the following 5: 1. You're at risk for osteoporosis. Your skin may actually be a window to your bones, according to a 2011 Yale study. Researchers looked at more than 100 women in their late 40s and early 50s who were in the first three years of menopause and found that those with the most and deepest wrinkles actually had the lowest bone density.
