Smoking and body fat mass in relation to bone mineral density and hip fracture: the Hordaland Health Study.

Smoking and body fat mass in relation to bone mineral density and hip fracture: the Hordaland Health Study.

Lower bone mineral density (BMD) in smokers may be attributable to lower body weight or fat mass, rather than to a direct effect of smoking. We analyzed the effects of smoking exposure, assessed by plasma cotinine, and body fat on BMD and the risk of subsequent hip fracture. In the community-based H...
