A prospective study of urinary electrolytes and bone turnover in adolescent males
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The role of excessive salt on bone metabolism in children is
uncertain. The aim of this 6-week prospective study was to describe the association between
urinary electrolytes and bone turnover markers in a convenience sample of adolescent boys
(N= 136, mean age 16yr). METHODS: Urinary electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium and
magnesium) were assessed on spot overnight urines on three occasions to minimise
regression dilution bias. Bone turnover was assessed by bone specific alkaline …
