Bone mineral content in Polynesian and white New Zealand women.
The forearm bone mineral content of Polynesian and European women in New Zealand was measured to assess whether the inter-racial differences found in other populations also occurred in these two groups. The bone mineral content of the nondominant distal radius and ulna was measured by single photon absorptiometry in 123 European and 80 Polynesian women. The mean values were about 20% higher in ...
متن کاملComparative skeletal mass and radial bone mineral content in black and white women.
The age-related changes in both skeletal mass and muscle mass were directly measured in normal black women ages 30-80 yr. The levels of total-body calcium (TBCa) were determined with the use of in vivo neutron activation. The muscle mass was measured by wholebody counting of 40K. In the same population, the bone mineral content of the radius was measured using a photon absorptiometric technique...
متن کاملBone mineral densities in normal Bangladeshi women
fracture. Several chronic medical conditions, medications, and life style factors affect bone mineral accrual. This study aims to evaluate the bone mineral densities and hip axis lengths in the local population. Materials and Methods: 336 normal Bangladeshi women age ranges 20 to 70 years had evaluation of their bone mineral densities (BMDs) by means of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results:...
متن کاملRelationship of Weight and Body Mass Index with Femur and Lumbar Vertebrae Bone Mineral Density and Content in Premenopausal Women
Purpose: Given that weight and body mass index (BMI) are considered as modifiable factors in osteoporosis, the present study aimed to examine the relationship of weight and BMI with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) at the femur and lumbar vertebrae in perimenopausal women. Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, we measured the bone density of the femur and...
متن کامل[Factors associated with low bone mineral density among white women].
OBJECTIVE To analyze whether the factors causing low bone mineral density among elderly women are the same as those observed in other age groups. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out on the medical records of a random sample of 413 white women seen at an imaging diagnostics service in a city of Southern Brazil, in 2003. Femoral bone mineral densities with adjustment using T-scores ...
