Indication: Hip fractures

Source: Am J Clin Nutr, 2002;77(2):512-516.

Research: Investigators studied cross-sectional associations between self-reported dietary vitamin K intake and bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine in men and women aged 29-86. BMD was measured at the hip and spine in 1112 men and 1479 women who participated in the Framingham Heart Study (1996-2000). Dietary and supplemental intakes of vitamin K were assessed with the use of a food frequency questionnaire. Additional covariates included age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity score and menopause status and current estrogen use among the women.

Results: Researchers concluded that low dietary vitamin K intake was associated with low BMD in women, consistent with previous reports that low dietary vitamin K intake is associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. In contrast, there was no association between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men.
