Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Whether a causal relationship exists between milk intake and reduced risk of fractures is unclear. OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that genetically determined milk intake reduces the risk of fractures and increases bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS: We investigated the association between milk intake, LCT-13910 C/T (rs4988235), which is associated with lactase persistence (TT/TC) in Northern...
