Abstract excerpt

Some studies have reported an association between the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele and reduced bone density and increased propensity to fracture, but this remains controversial as other studies have not found an association between APOE4 and bone density or fracture. No information is available concerning the effect of the APOE4 allele on quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters. We therefore examined this...
