We conducted a 10-yr prospective study of peak bone mass and its change in 604 women, aged 24-44 yr at study initiation, and related changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and osteocalcin (OCN) concentrations to estrogen receptor (ER) alpha gene polymorphisms in 442 of these women. We examined the association of ER alpha PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms with the 10-yr change in lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN)...
