Studies on associations between biomarkers of vitamin D metabolism and fracture risk have
focused predominantly on White or elderly populations and may not be generalizable to …

The association between vitamin D receptor gene polypmorphisms and bone mineral
density is controversial. The relationship between vitamin D receptor genotype and risk of …

Results from previous prospective studies linking serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) with
fracture risk have been inconsistent. The present study examined the relationship between …

ABSTRACT Serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (S‐25OHD) is used to assess vitamin D status and
is known to be affected by season and fat mass. Because these factors are often ignored …

Hypovitaminosis D has been identified as a common risk factor for fragility fractures and
poor fracture healing. Epidemiological data on vitamin D deficiency have been gathered in …

Observational studies have consistently reported a higher risk of fractures among those with
low levels of serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D). Emerging evidence suggests that low …

Abstract Low serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] concentrations are associated with hip
fractures, but the dose‐response relationship of serum 25 (OH) D with risk of stress fractures …

Several studies have confirmed an initial report of a relation between bone density and
polymorphic forms of the calcitriol (vitamin D) receptor gene, whereas others have failed to …

The vitamin D debate relates in part to ideal public health population levels of circulating 25‐
hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) to maintain bone structure and reduce fracture. In a secondary …

Ethnic diversity and lower socioeconomic populations are poorly captured in most studies of
osteoporosis and fracture risk. This article describes a prospective, observational study …
