Significant bone mineral density (BMD) reduction occurs in stroke patients on the hemiplegic side compared with the intact side. To elucidate the pathogenesis of hip fractures in this population, we measured serum markers of bone metabolism and BMD in the stroke patients within 1 year (early group) and between 1 and 2 years after onset of hemiplegia (long-term group).
