## Abstract The aim of this study was to determine if singleβnucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in __RANKL__, __RANK__, and __OPG__ influence bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) in men. Pairwise tag SNPs (__r__^2^ββ₯β0.8) were selected for __RANKL__, __RANK__, and __OPG__ and their 10βkb flank
## Abstract Factors involved with calcium metabolism, such as serum calcium and phosphate and calcium intake, have been associated with vascular disease in different populations. We investigated whether this association is mediated via increased vascular calcification by assessing relationships bet
