Purpose: To evaluate whether calcium and vitamin D intake is associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) serum concentrations or is associated with either the phalangeal dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (pDXA) or the quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS) at the phalanges and the calcaneus in independent elderly men from southwestern Spain.Methods: Serum PTH and 25(OH)D were measured in 199 healthy elderly men (mean age: 73.31...
