Vitamin D status is one of the determining factors in this relationship. The aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between serum PTH, vitamin D and bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly women in Reykjavik (64 degrees N), where daily intake of cod liver oil is common and mean calcium intake is high. In PTH correlated inversely with 25(OH)D (r = -0.26, p<0.0 1). In multivariate analysis PTH correlated inversely with whole body BMD (mostly cortical bone) (R2 = 2.2%, p = 0.04) but not with the lumbar spine BMD, reflecting m...
