Weight and age may influence the levels of indexes of bone remodeling and the calciotropic
hormones. In a study of interracial differences in these women, our black population was
heavier than our white population. We therefore matched a subset of 96 black and 96 white
women from our larger population for age and weight to determine whether a racial
difference exists independent of the effects of weight and age. In addition, we were able to
measure other indexes of bone remodeling (N-telopeptide of cross-linked collagen and …
