Associations between the serum levels of selected bone turnover markers and biological traits in nursing home women aged 80+ without inflammation. A pilot study

Bone turnover markers (BTM) reflect the status of bone remodeling processes responsible for bone mineral density. The existing body of evidence that osseous tissue can interact with many other body tissues and organs suggests that the cross-talks can lead to different relationships. The biological traits associated with BTMs have not been thoroughly studied in the elderly despite bone turnover being known to increase with age.To determine...
