BMC was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Biological age was defined as years from age at peak height velocity (PHV). Data were analysed using a hierarchical (random effects) modelling approach. Results : When biological age, body size and body composition were controlled, ...
Summary One thousand six hundred healthy subjects aged more than 50 years, residing in Delhi, were evaluated for bone mineral metabolic parameters. High prevalence of osteoporosis (35.1% subjects) was observed in this population. Bone mineral density (BMD) correlated positively with body mass index ...
What Is Bone Density? DEXA scans are a definitive way to measure bone density. DEXA stands for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; they’re similar to a regular x-ray that you may have gotten in the doctor’s office in that they allow us to see through skin and other tiss...
Often this is referred as "the silent thief" because bone loss often causes no symptoms. People may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a bone fracture. Sometimes it can be seen on an X-ray when there is a ...
The author measured shengyang city 207 healthy people's general bone mineral density by dual energy x-ray densitomeber obtained normal values and so,it may give us an objective criterion for the diagnosis and prevention of osteoporosis. Key words:dual energy x-ray densitometer bone mineral density...
To define the association of age-related changes in bone mineral content to gonadal function in normal men, we measured radial (largely cortical) and vertebral (largely trabecular) bone mineral content (BMC), testosterone (total and free), estrone and estradiol-17B levels in 62 healthy subjects,...
The primary objective of this study was to examine the associations of ethnicity, diet (calcium, protein, energy), and weight-bearing activity with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-measured bone mass and hip axis length (HAL) in 423 Asians, blacks, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic Caucasians...
A possible explanation is that the small angularity of the X-ray projectors and image matching techniques utilised in the radiological study [35] might not capture the rearfoot motions on the coronal planes as sufficiently as on the sagittal plane. Meanwhile, our foot model with structural and ...
Height, weight, stage of puberty, X-ray for bone age and transabdominal ultrasounds were performed on all girls. Higher chronological age, bone age and increase in breast stage significantly predicted higher MOV (P < 0.001) and higher uterine length (P < 0.001). The MOV, uterine length and...
