PTH level but not 25 (OH) vitamin D level predicts bone loss rates in the elderly
2012
Summary
We assessed the impact of calciotropic hormones on bone loss in 195 elderly subjects. After a median follow up of 4 years, parathyroid hormone (PTH) correlated negatively with changes in bone mineral density (BMD) at all skeletal sites. After adjustment for potential predictors of bone loss in the elderly, PTH level alone explained 3% of the variance in BMD changes at the hip.
