Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: The present study was performed to evaluate the association between serum ferritin concentrations and bone mineral density (BMD) in a representative Korean general population. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study based on data obtained in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008~2010). The present cross-sectional analysis was restricted to participants > or =20 years of age who completed the health examination survey and BMD measurement (n=15,538).
