Influence of Vitamin D Status on the Effect of Statins on Bone Mineral Density and Bone Turnover Markers in Postmenopausal Women

Abstract

Women on statins and serum 25OHD levels above 20 ng/mL have greater BMD and less bone resorption than those without either of the factors. Differences, however, are not significant in women with only one of them. Vitamin D and statins seem to interact positively in their effects on bone metabolism.
