Osteoporosis is a common aging-related disease diagnosed primarily using bone mineral
density (BMD). We assessed genetic determinants of BMD as estimated by heel quantitative …

Osteoporosis is among the most common and costly diseases and is increasing in
prevalence owing to the ageing of our global population. Clinically defined largely through …

Osteoporosis is a common multifactorial disorder of reduced bone mass. The disorder in its
most common form is generalized, affecting the elderly, both sexes, and all racial groups …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component. In recent years, some
progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of osteoporosis. Genetic factors …

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and an increased risk of fracture. Genetic
factors, environmental factors and gene–environment interactions all contribute to a person's …

Research has recently begun to clarify the genes and genetic variants that predispose to
osteoporosis and regulation of bone mass. Clinical applications of this research include the …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by
reduced bone mass, defects in the microarchitecture of bone tissue, and an increased risk of …

Family and twin studies have established a genetic contribution to the etiology of
osteoporosis. The genes and allelic variants conferring osteoporotic risk are largely …

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by fragile bones and high susceptibility to low-
trauma fractures. It is a serious health problem, especially in elderly women. Bone mineral …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component. Twin studies have
shown that genetic factors play an important role in regulating bone mineral density (BMD) …
