We thank Maria Wallin et al. [1] for sharing their significant study about that low-level cadmium exposure through diet and smoking can increase the risk of low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis-related fractures in elderly men which come from the Swedish cohort of the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) study. The researchers used cadmium in urine (U-Cd) as an index of body cadmium burden after cadmium exposure, and the mean U-Cd level was 0.33 (median 0.26, range 0.01 to 6.98) µg/g creatinine. They also made a statistic on the calcium intake (range 60.7 to 4140 mg/d) of the participants. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
