Bone and mineral metabolism in older adults with Parkinson's disease
Age and Aging, 08/18/09
Abou–Raya S et al. – The findings show that the bone mineral density (BMD) of all PD patients was significantly lower compared to controls. PD patients had significantly decreased vitamin D levels, significantly increased BALP and NTx levels, reduced physical and mental performance and more falls and/or fractures in comparison to healthy controls. PD is associated with an increased incidence of osteoporosis, falls and fractures. PD is thus a risk factor for osteoporosis and appropriate therapeutic interventions should be initiated to slow or prevent disability.
