Markers Of Bone Turnover

Low bone mineral density is a strong risk factor for fractures in the older woman. Biochemical markers of bone turnover may predict fracture risk independently of bone mineral density. High levels of bone resorption markers are associated with increased risk of fracture in both retrospective and prospective studies, although the evidence for bone formation markers and fracture risk is equivocal. For example, the risk of fracture is increased up to two-fold in women with elevated levels of several markers of bone resorption. Prediction models have been developed to predict the 10–year risk of fracture using bone mineral density and biochemical markers of bone turnover and these could prove very useful in clinical practice.
