Association between serum vitamin B₆ concentration and risk of osteoporosis in the middle-aged and older people in China: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the relationship between serum vitamin B₆ (Vit B₆) concentration and the status of bone mineral density and identify the relationship between serum Vit B6 and bone metabolism parameters in middle-aged and older people in China.

Design

The present study was a cross-sectional study within the framework of an ongoing prospective population-based cohort study.

Setting and participants

A total of 1829 residents (men ≥50 years and women ≥45 years) from two subdistricts were recruited from July 2015 to February 2016 in Shanghai, China.

Measures

Recruited residents were grouped (control, osteopenia and osteoporosis) according to their lumbar spine bone mineral density, measured through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum
