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.

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.

Weight-bearing exercise training and lumbar bone mineral content in postmenopausal women.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of weight-bearing exercise training and subsequent detraining on lumbar bone mineral content in postmenopausal women. DESIGN Non-randomized, controlled, short-term (9 months) trial and long-term (22 months) exercise

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.

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.

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.

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.

Familial aggregation of bone mineral density and bone mineral content in a Chinese population

Osteoporosis International, 2005
Familial aggregation of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) has been shown in twin and familial studies, but most sample sizes were small. We here report a large familial aggregation study in a Chinese population. A total of 13,973 siblings aged 25-64 years from 3,882 families were enrolled from Anhui, China. We assessed the whole-

Effect of hyperthyroidism and its treatment on bone mineral content.

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1985
Patients with hyperthyroidism may develop osteopenia associated with fractures; however, there has been no general agreement on the incidence of osteopenia in hyperthyroidism or the recovery of the mineral loss after treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Scuba diving does not affect bone mineral density or bone mineral content

Joint Bone Spine, 2011
Scuba diving is a very specialized, physically demanding activity. The bones of divers are subjected to stress from water pressure, from the forces generated when their muscles resist water pressure, and from weightlessness. Notably, few studies have addressed the effects of diving on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC), and the ...
