Serum testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin and total calcium levels predict the calcaneal speed of sound in men

Serum testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin and total calcium levels predict the calcaneal speed of sound in men

OBJECTIVES: Variations in sex hormones and the calcium balance can influence bone health in men. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between the calcaneal speed of sound and biochemical determinants of bone mass, such as sex hormones, parathyroid hormones and serum calcium. METHODS:...
