Assessment of Bone Mineral Density in Osteoporosis
Türk Osteoporoz Dergisi, 2015 Osteoporosis is a common and silent disease characterized by low bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue and increased risk of fracture. However, it can be prevented, diagnosed and treated before fractures occur.

OSTEOPROTEGERIN AND BONE DENSITY [PDF]
Biomedical Papers, 2001 Aim of study was determine if a correlation exists between bone mass density and concentration of osteoprotegerin. We examined the group of 199 patients of mean age of 63 years. Of the group under study, 31 patients had normal bone density (T score > -1 and < 1) and 168 probands had osteopenia or osteoporosis (T < -1).

Muscle-Bone Interactions in Chinese Men and Women Aged 18–35 Years
Journal of Osteoporosis, 2020 To characterize bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, muscle and fat mass, and muscle strength and power in Chinese women (n = 25) and men (n = 28) classified as in the bone accrual phase (18–25 years) or in the peak bone mass phase (26–35 years ...

Bone Density Determination [PDF]
Spine, 1997 Bone mineral density determination is an integral part of the diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and monitoring of a patient with osteoporosis. Although the utility of measuring bone density seems intuitive, decisions must be made regarding whom to test, when to test, which technique to use, and which body site to evaluate.

Adjusting bone mass for differences in projected bone area and other confounding variables: an allometric perspective. [PDF]
, 2002 The traditional method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD; given by bone mineral content [BMC] divided by projected bone area [Ap], BMD = BMC/Ap) has come under strong criticism by various authors. Their criticism being that the projected bone "area"
