Abstract
Osteoporosis is a widespread problem, which frequently has devastating health consequences through its association with fragility fractures. The total number of fractures, and hence the cost to society, will increase dramatically over the next 50years as a result of demographic changes in the number of elderly people. Thus, prevention of osteoporosis by identifying risk factors or risk indicators, as well as the development of new treatment strategies, are major issues. Recent data suggest that homocysteine (Hcy), folate, vitamin BKeywords
