Influence of heredity and environment on bone density in adolescent boys: a parent-offspring study.

Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA - 1 Jan 1999

Nordström P, Lorentzon R

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of the present parent-offspring study was to investigate the influence of heredity and environment on bone density in young men. Another aim was to discover whether the same genetic factors influence bone mass, lean mass and muscle strength. Fifty families including a father, mother and one son were investigated. The mothers (aged 44.5 +/- 4.4 years) and fathers (aged 47.1 +/- 4.4 years) generally had...
