| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied Vitamin K status using serum undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), and examined the association of ucOC with low bone mass contributing to fragile fracture, adjusting for age, body size (body mass index: BMI) and physical performance (5-times chair stand time). Subjects were 1127 community-dwelling people (461 men and 666 women). We conducted multiple linear regression analysis. In men, bone mass (stiffness index) was negatively associated with age. BMI had a borderline association. No association was found between bone mass and ucOC or 5-times chair stand time. In women, bone mass (stiffness index) was negatively associated with ucOC, age and 5-times chair stand time, and was positively associated with BMI.
