A variety of biochemical markers of bone turnover that assess bone formation or resorption are now available for research and clinical application. However, our understanding of the usual pattern of these measures over age in the general population is limited. Therefore, values of two bone formation markers, serum osteocalcin (Oc) and bone specific alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP), were compared by age, gender, and race or ethnicity using serum obtained from a subsample of blacks, whites, and Mexican Americans from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In all racial and ethnic groups, mean values of both serum Oc and bone ALP were lower in women than in men
