The relationship between serum total alkaline phosphatase and risk of osteoporosis: a cross-sectional study
the serum total ALP in serum persistently and negatively relates to the risk of osteoporosis in a general adults population when ALPs are clinic normal. The 72IU/Lof total serum ALP may be considered as a tentative threshold for initiating further bone health counseling in health management for adults. Cohort studies on the application of ALP in the prediction of osteoporosis or osteoporotic fracture are warranted.
