Dioxin-like compounds are not associated with bone strength measured by ultrasonography in Inuit women from Nunavik (Canada): results of a cross-sectional study
Background.Bone strength in Inuit people appears lower than that of non-Aboriginals.Inuit are exposed to persistent organic pollutants including dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) through their traditional diet that comprises predatory fish and marine mammal fat.Results from experimental and population studies suggest that some DLCs can alter bone metabo
