Markers of bone turnover in relation to bone health.
In recent years, there has been both an increasing awareness of, and interest in, bone health which has been combined with a recognition that nutritional factors may have an influential role in developing and maintaining bone status. In contrast to the situation approximately 15 years ago, when only 5 % of general practitioners acknowledged the occurrence of osteoporosis, this disorder of bone ...

Throughout the life-cycle, the skeleton requires optimum development and maintenance of its integrity to prevent fracture. Bones break because the loads placed upon them exceed the ability of the bone to absorb the energy involved. It is now estimated that 1:3 women and 1:12 men over the age of 55 years will suffer from osteoporosis in their lifetime and in the UK, at a cost in excess of £1.7 b...

متن کاملEffects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Bone Turnover Markers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are used to evaluate bone health together with bone mineral density and fracture assessment. Vitamin D supplementation is widely used to prevent and treat musculoskeletal diseases but existing data on vitamin D effects on markers of bone resorption and formation are inconsistent. We therefore examined the effects of vitamin D supplementation on bone-specific alkalin...
