Abstract excerpt
The relationship between MTHFR (C677T) genotypes of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, bone mineral density (BMD), and vertebral fracture was studied in 657 Chinese men and women. No association between MTHFR (C677T) and BMD was found in postmenopausal women (aged 55-59 years, n=178), elderly women (aged 70-79 years, n=247), or elderly men (aged 70-79 years, n=232) at the hip, spine, or total body (P >0.05...
