| Research Abstract |
Previous reports showed some preventive effects of moderate exercises and intake of calcium or vitamin D on osteoporosis. Recently, polyunsaturated fatty acids were also reported to be associated with osteoporosis. In this study, we measured the blood level of fatty acids in patients with osteoporotic fracture in elderly and examined the association between fatty acids level and the risk of osteoporotic fracture.
