Our aim was to evaluate the association between VDR polymorphisms and calcaneal
Stiffness Index (SI) with stress fractures in a case control study including male military …

Vitamin D is essential for optimal bone health. Stress fracture is an overuse injury often
occurring in active populations. Study results indicate an association exists between vitamin …

CONTEXT: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been strongly associated
with bone mineral density in some studies. However, in a recent meta-analysis, no …

INTRODUCTION: Fracture is the major clinical outcome of osteoporosis. The vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene is thought to be a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Many genetic …

Background Vitamin D is essential for normal bone metabolism. Polymorphisms in exon 2,
intron 8 and exon 9 of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have previously been found to be …

Objective Fracture is the major clinical outcome of osteoporosis. The vitamin D receptor
(VDR) gene is thought to be a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Many genetic studies have …

Context: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with a strong genetic component. Vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms explain only a small part of the genetic influence on the …

Stress fractures are common amongst healthy military recruits and athletes. Reduced
vitamin D availability, measured by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) status, has been …

The goal of the study was to investigate the possibility of an association between
polymorphisms and single alleles of Bsm I, Apa I, Taq I of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene …

Abstract Introduction Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been associated with
fracture risk and muscle strength, although evidence for the latter is limited and conflicting …
