Polymorphisms at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been reported to mediate important differences in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism. In this longitudinal study we examined the relationships between VDR genotypes and bone metabolism, changes in BMD and changes in ultrasound transmission velocity in a population of healthy unrelated German women. The study population comprised 50 physically...
