简要总结
The association between Homocysteine (Hcy) levels and bone mineral density (BMD) has been debated. Some studies have found a relationship between increased Hcy plasma levels and BMD in contrast; other studies have not found a relationship. The purpose of our study was to investigate whether or not Hcy plasma levels are related to BMD in a group of postmenopausal women.
