Clinical ScienceSerum urate levels and the risk of hip fractures: data from the Cardiovascular Health Study☆
2015
Purpose
Uric acid inhibits vitamin D activation experimentally and higher serum urate levels are associated with higher parathyroid hormone levels in humans suggesting a link between uric acid and bone health. We hypothesized that hyperuricemia may increase the risk of fractures in older adults.
