Determinants of bone mineral content in childhood

Bone and Mineral, 1991
In a sample of 1190 children (574 boys and 616 girls), aged 6.8-10.7 years, bone mineral content was studied using quantitative röntgen microdensitometry (QMD) at the diaphyseal and the metaphyseal site of the left second digit. Percentile curves of bone mineral density was determined by skeletal age for boys and girls separately.

Bone mineral content: Data analysis

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1988
We reviewed the literature related to intrauterine bone mineral content (BMC) curves and the expression of BMC measurements in infants. From this review, it appears that the curves developed by Greer and by Minton for the radius are extremely similar and that both should be used as the reference curve.

Bone Mineral Content and Physical Activity

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1987
The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of intense and regular physical activity on locomotor system modifications. Tennis, with its unilateral solicitations, allows a more precise examination of specific localized development. Ten professional tennis players were compared with sedentary age-matched students.

Mineral content of skeletal bones in otosclerosis

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1979
In 63 patients with otosclerosis confirmed by operation, the bone mineral content was determined by photon absorptiometry. The bone mineral content and bone mineral concentration were found to be normal, which lends support to the assumption that otosclerosis is a localized disease and not a manifestation of a generalized disorder of the skeletal ...

Bone Mineral Content in Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1987
Sir.—I wish to comment on the article describing photon absorptiometric measurements of the humerus in term and preterm infants.1Vyhmeister and coworkers measured the bone mineral content (BMC) of this bone in infants who ranged in weight from 713 to 3779 g and reported, as would be expected, an increase in BMC with increasing birth weight.

Measuring Bone Mineral Content

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1991
Orthopaedic nurses encounter many patients with fractures related to osteoporosis. This article discusses the most available methods of measuring bone mineral content (BMC) to diagnose osteoporosis. The methods include single photon absorptiometry, dual photon absorptiometry, and dual photon absorptiometry using x-rays and computerized tomography.

Thiazide Effect on the Mineral Content of Bone

New England Journal of Medicine, 1983
The thiazide diuretics are known to cause calcium retention. In order to study the effect of thiazides on bone mineralization, we have measured the mineral content of bone at five sites (the distal radius, the distal ulna, the proximal radius, the proximal ulna, and the os calcis) in 1368 men with a mean age of 68 years, including 323 who were taking ...

Lactose Malabsorption and Bone Mineral Content

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1977
ABSTRACT Bone mineral has been measured by the Am‐241 gamma ray attenuation method in 12 men and 22 women with lactose malabsorption and in 17 men and 17 women with normal lactose absorption, and compared with previously established normal values.

Bone Mineral Content and Fragility Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
In 249 patients with fractures characteristic of bone fragility, i.e. femoral neck fracture, vertebral crush fracture, fracture of the upper end of the humerus, Colles' fracture, fracture of the lateral condyle of the tibia and various ankle fractures, and forearm bone mineral content was measured by gamma absorptiometry.
