Background and objective: Recent studies have demonstrated that higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) had a favorable effect on bone health. Osteocalcin, however, according to its serum concentration showed different outcomes for bone and aortic calcification. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the bone mineral density (BMD) and coronary artery calcification score (CACS) according to the serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and osteocalcin.<p c...
