Abstract excerpt
The role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms in the determination of bone mass and bone turnover is controversial in women. The aim of the study was to determine whether VDR polymorphisms are associated with indices of bone mineral density (BMD) (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and by ultrasound) and/or with bone turnover and muscle strength, factors related to both BMD and fracture risk. For this...
