A population-based study of the relationship between salt intake, bone resorption and bone mass

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that salt intake could be a risk factor for osteoporosis in both men and women. Studies of 154 subjects showed that salt intake is linked with bone resorption markers. Urinary sodium moderately correlated with urinary calcium and urinary deoxypyridinoline in men and women. Further research should be undertaken to clarify the impact of salt intake on fractures and bone mass.
