The Influence of Serum Uric Acid on Bone Mineral Density, Hip Geometry, and Fracture Risk: The Rotterdam Study

Context: The role of uric acid (UA) in skeletal metabolism remains to be unraveled. Objective: We prospectively investigated the association between UA, bone mineral density at the femoral neck (FN-BMD), hip bone geometry parameters, and incident fracture risk and examined whether the associations were modified by age and vitamin C intake. Participants and Setting: Data of 5074 participants of The Rotterdam Study, a prospective population-based...
