متن کاملBone mineral density in healthy Kuwaiti women
Objective This study aimed to measure bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumber spine and femur regions in healthy adult Kuwaiti women, and to evaluate the influence of body size on BMD results. Methods Bone mass measurement was performed by dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine (L2-L4) and femur (four regions) of healthy ambulatory Kuwaiti females aged between 20 and 80 years. Bod...
متن کاملLow peak bone mineral density in healthy Lebanese subjects.
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem in Western countries and is projected to have a similar impact in the Middle East. It has been suggested that peak bone mineral density (BMD), a major determinant of osteoporotic fractures later in life, may be lower in this part of the world compared with the Western world. However, subjects have not been randomly selected or systematically screene...
