## Abstract We investigate the relevance of the genetic determination of bone mineral density (BMD) variation to that of differential risk to osteoporotic fractures (OF). The high heritability (__h^2^__) of BMD and the significant phenotypic correlations between high BMD and low risk to OF are well
