Background Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) has been associated with hip fracture but not
directly with bone mineral density (BMD). We examined the association of hip BMD with …

Background The lean phenotype of cystathionine β-synthase–deficient homocystinuria and
the positive association of plasma total cysteine (tCys) with body mass index (BMI) suggest …

Homocysteine and related factors were evaluated as risk factors for subsequent hip fractures
among 4766 elderly men and women. High levels of homocysteine and low levels of folate …

Background: Distal radial fractures occur earlier in life than hip and spinal fractures and may
be the first sign of osteoporosis. The aims of this case-control study were to compare the …

Background Sarcopenia is prevalent in older persons and is a risk factor for falls, fractures,
and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine a) the feasibility of determining …

Bone mass achievement predicts later fracture risk. This population-based study describes
bone mineral density (BMD) levels and associated factors in Norwegian adolescents. …

Background Patients with hip fracture frequently have sarcopenia and are at great risk of loss
of mobility. We have investigated if sarcopenia predicts change in mobility after hip fracture…

INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D inadequacy is associated with hip fractures, but the relationship
has not been explored for distal radius fractures. AIMS: To compare serum 25-…

Lower bone mineral density (BMD) in smokers may be attributable to lower body weight or
fat mass, rather than to a direct effect of smoking. We analyzed the effects of smoking …

The aim of this study was to compare bone mineral density (BMD) in a population-based
sample of middle-aged and older Norwegians, with reference values provided by the …
