Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: This longitudinal twin study was designed to assess the heritability of bone loss in peri- and postmenopausal women. A sample of 724 female twins was studied. Baseline and repeat BMD measurements were performed. Results of genetic model-fitting analysis indicated genetic effects on bone loss account for approximately 40% of the between-individual variation in bone loss at the lumbar spine, forearm,...
