## Abstract Conflicting results have been reported on the association between restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene locus (i.e., for __Bsm__I, __Apa__I, and __Taq__I) and bone mineral density (BMD). We analyzed this association in a large populationβ

We examined the association of bone mineral density (BMD) with a polymorphism in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor (VOR) that causes a change in the predicted protein sequence. The polymorphism results from a C-to-T transition and creates an initiation codon (ATG) three codons proximal to a d
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been reported to account for most of the well established genetic influence on bone mineral density (BMD). However, discordant studies have been published and it is still not clear whether VDR genotypes influence bone mass accretion and/or postmenopau
Sarcopenia and osteoporosis represent a growing public health problem. We studied the potential benefit of whole-body vibration (WBV) training given a conventional or a high dose of daily vitamin D supplementation in improving strength, muscle mass, and bone density in postmenopausal women. In a 2 Γ
