Bone turnover markers predict hip bone loss in elderly European men: results of the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS)

Summary The aim of this study was to determine whether bone turnover markers (BTMs) predict changes in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in middle-aged and elderly European men. Older men with high bone turnover are at a higher risk of accelerated hip bone loss, but the clinical utility of BTMs in individuals is limited.
