Association Between Physical Activity and BMD in Young Men Is Modulated by Catechol‐O‐Methyltransferase (COMT) Genotype: The GOOD Study

In this large population‐based study in young men, we show that the COMT val158met polymorphism modulates the association between physical activity, aBMD (DXA), and trabecular vBMD (pQCT).
