Extent of vitamin D deficiency in Saudi Arabian women and boys and girls

Impact of veiling on Vitamin D status in Kuwait adolescent girls: impact on bone mass

Protein and bone health: systematic review and meta-analysis

Role of dietary and supplemental potassium to osteoporosis prevention

Nutritional influences on stress fracture incidence in the Royal Marines

Role of trace elements to bone health

Nutrition and exercise influences on peak bone mass attainment

Nutrition and bone in the Swiss elderly
