Abstract excerpt
The interplay of physical activity and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism in their effects on bone mineral density (BMD) was studied for 120 Japanese girls aged 18-19 years. BMD at distal radius in the group with the VDR genotype at the Apal site of Aa was significantly higher than that in the aa group, but this association disappeared in a group having the habit of physical activity. The Aa genotype gave...
