REFERENCE INTERVALS FOR BONE TURNOVER MARKERS AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH INCIDENT HIP FRACTURES IN OLDER MEN: THE HEALTH IN MEN STUDY

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2015 Jan;100(1):90-9. doi: 10.1210/jc.2014-2646.

Reference intervals for BTMs in older men have been defined. tOC may be more informative for hip fracture risk in older men than CTX-I and PINP. Further studies are needed to clarify the utility of BTM reference intervals in the management of aging men at risk of osteoporosis.
