Association of high-density lipoprotein with P1NP and β-CTX in hospitalized patients with osteoporotic fractures: a retrospective cross-sectional study

The findings reveal a negative correlation between HDL levels and both β-CTX and P1NP, suggesting a potential link between lipid metabolism and bone turnover. If validated in further studies, HDL could emerge as a predictive marker for BTMs, offering novel perspectives for osteoporosis management.
