Abstract excerpt
The heritability of trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) determined by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the heritability of BMD as determined by QCT and DXA in 124 women and 120 men (age 39-83 years, BMI 17-75, 84% type 2 diabetics) from 101 families (232 sibling pairs) in the Diabetes Heart Study. Volumetric BMD had a...
