Abstract
⺠Higher serum uric acid (UA) levels are associated with higher absolute bone mineral density (BMD) in women. ⺠The association between serum UA and BMD remained after accounting for known and potential confounders, including LM and FM. ⺠Higher serum UA levels were associated with lower annual rates of change in BMD at all skeletal sites. ⺠Rates of change in lumbar spine BMD remained associated with serum UA concentrations after accounting for confounders, including LM and FM.
