Relationship between bone turnover markers and the heel stiffness index measured by quantitative ultrasound in postmenopausal Japanese women.

CONCLUSION: Higher rates of bone resorption are associated with a lower stiffness index in Japanese postmenopausal women. These results may indicate that high bone resorption affects bone mass more than bone formation, resulting in a low bone mass. PMID: 30995879 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
