Abstract

The relationship of homocyteine, B12 and folic acid with osteoporosis has already been studied in various populations. We compared the important factors in the metabolism of homocysteine, such as homocysteine, B12 and folic acid levels, of Turkish postmenopausal women, and their relationship with the femur and lumbar spine bone mineral density.
