Abstract

The association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and bone mineral density (BMD) and proximal femur bone geometry was examined in the Korean population. A positive relationship between skeletal health and 25(OH)D levels was observed. However, there were no significant differences in skeletal health between the groups with 25(OH)D level of 50-75 nmol/L and greater than 75 nmol/L.
