| Abstract |
Vitamin K mediates the synthesis of proteins regulating bone metabolism. We have tested whether high vitamin K(2) intake promotes bone mineral density and bone strength. Results showed that K(2) improved BMC and femoral neck width, but not DXA-BMD. Hence high vitamin K(2) intake may contribute to preventing postmenopausal bone loss. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 59. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 October 2023.
All research outputs
#673,939
of 24,337,175 outputs
Outputs from Osteoporosis International
#78
of 3,791 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,542
of 167,292 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Osteoporosis International
#1
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,337,175 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,791 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 167,292 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
