Abstract excerpt
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a reflection of both genetic and lifestyle factors. The interplay of genetic (vitamin D receptor [VDR] gene polymorphisms) and lifestyle factors on BMD at the lumbar spine and proximal femur was examined in 470 healthy premenopausal women, aged 44-50 years, using a Hologic QDR 2000 densitometer. The objective of this study was to examine the genetic and lifestyle determinants of...
