Abstract

Relation of Hyperhomocysteinemia with Osteoporosis

Author(s): Rachel Miller and Cloe Williams

Osteoporosis is a major health and economic concern worldwide, particularly among postmenopausal women. In determining bone mass and health, environmental, metabolic, and genetic factors all play a role. Evidence of homocysteine's harmful impact on bone health has been increasing for several years. The deleterious effects of homocysteine on bone health appear to be significant when it comes to bone mineral density, fracture risk, and bone markers that have been investigated. Vitamin B insufficiency may play a significant impact in bone metabolism, which has to be researched further. Further research into the effective mechanisms of link between homocysteine and osteoporosis is essential due to variances in genetic predisposition, environmental, sex differences, and nutritional factors
