- Title
Association between bone mineral density and C-reactive protein in a large population-based sample.

- Abstract
Several studies suggest that bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced in chronic inflammatory diseases. Higher serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) have been associated with lower BMD in women and older adults. However, it is not clear whether this association holds in a representative sample of the general population. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between BMD and CRP level in a large representative US population-based sample from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
