Bone mineral content of the forearm in a healthy population

Bone mineral content of the forearm in a healthy population

P Karjalainen et al. Acta Radiol Ther Phys Biol. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

The bone mineral content in the distal radius, in the midshaft radius and ulna was measured in 83 healthy males and 89 females from 11 to 87 years old using the 241Am gamma ray attenuation method. The age distributions of different 'density' quantities characterizing bone mineral are presented and the usefulness of these quantities is discussed.
