Why is it important?
The most important findings of this study were the decreased serum levels of GLP-1 and vitamin D in elderly patients with bone fracture. These results suggest the importance of GLP-1 levels in bone metabolism
Perspectives
Serum vitamin D and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels were assessed in elderly patients with bone fractures. • Serum GLP-1 levels were significantly lower in elderly patients with bone fractures than in healthy elderly adults. • A significant correlation was found between decreased vitamin D and GLP-1 levels.
