Diagnosis of osteoporosis is based solely on dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry-based measurements of bone mineral density. However, within the last 20 years, biochemical markers of bone turnover have been implemented to a larger degree, and especially within the field of drug development. Numerous clinical studies have underscored that the markers have promise in terms of predicting patients at high risk of losing bone, future fracture events and importantly also the fracture efficacy of drugs in development. Furthermore, while classical methods often require years to monitor the changes, the bone turnover markers do so within a shorter time span. The aims of this article are to provide an update on the different biochemical markers of bone turnover, and to give an overview of their applications in epidemiological and clinical research especially in women. The main emphasis will be on their utility in clinical trials testing the efficacy of drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, and their ability to supplement bone mass measurements. Finally, recent evidence suggests that biochemical markers may provide information on bone age that may indirectly relate to bone quality, and this is discussed together with future possibilities for measuring bone quality using bone turnover markers. In summary, a more targeted use of biomarkers could assist in the identification of high-risk patients, the process of drug discovery and monitoring of the efficacy of osteoporosis treatment in clinical settings. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2217\/whe.11.74","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,31]],"date-time":"2011-10-31T16:26:38Z","timestamp":1320078398000},"page":"689-698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Use of Bone Turnover Markers in Clinical Osteoporosis Assessment in Women: Current Issues and Future Options"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"K","family":"Henriksen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone Biology & Biomarkers, Nordic Bioscience A\/S, Herlev Hovedgade 207, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"DJ","family":"Leeming","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone Biology & Biomarkers, Nordic Bioscience A\/S, Herlev Hovedgade 207, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Christiansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone Biology & Biomarkers, Nordic Bioscience A\/S, Herlev Hovedgade 207, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MA","family":"Karsdal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone Biology & Biomarkers, Nordic Bioscience A\/S, Herlev Hovedgade 207, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bone.2009.03.671"},{"key":"bibr2-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra053077"},{"key":"bibr3-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/er.2010-0006"},{"key":"bibr4-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-323-03437-1.50008-7"},{"key":"bibr5-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1042\/CS20060046"},{"key":"bibr6-WHE.11.74","first-page":"259","volume-title":"Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism (6th Edition)","author":"Eastell R","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr7-WHE.11.74","first-page":"262","volume-title":"Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism","author":"Schousboe JT","year":"2006","edition":"6"},{"key":"bibr8-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.372"},{"key":"bibr9-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocd.2011.05.008"},{"key":"bibr10-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13547500902777608"},{"key":"bibr11-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.5650081010"},{"key":"bibr12-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199802193380801"},{"key":"bibr13-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01674805"},{"key":"bibr14-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.1989.tb00443.x"},{"key":"bibr15-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-010-1501-1"},{"key":"bibr16-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00228-006-0174-3"},{"key":"bibr17-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1042\/bj3450473"},{"key":"bibr18-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00774-003-0460-4"},{"key":"bibr19-WHE.11.74","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.2000.15.8.1537"},{"key":"bibr20-WHE.11.74","first-page":"23","volume":"97","author":"Liesegang A","year":"2003","journal-title":"Acta Vet.
