UNLABELLED: This study assessed independent associations and interactions of IL-6 promoter alleles (-174G/C and -634C/G), calcium intake and physical activity with bone mass among pre-menarche Chinese girls. The -634 CC carriers, greater calcium intake and physical activity were associated with better bone mass. The gene-bone association was more pronounced among girls with high physical activity or with low...
