Investigating the association between creatinine-adjusted urinary catecholamines and site-specific bone mineral density in older adults
Elevated epinephrine levels are associated with reduced lumbar spine BMD in older adults, and elevated norepinephrine levels are associated with reduced distal radius BMD, suggesting catecholamines may influence bone metabolism in a site-specific manner relevant to osteoporosis pathophysiology.
