[HTML][HTML] Total-body and regional bone mineral content and areal bone mineral density in children aged 8–18 y: the Fels Longitudinal Study
LM Maynard, SS Guo, WC Chumlea, AF Roche… - The American journal of …, 1998 - Elsevier
Background Techniques for cross-calibration of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone
mineral density (BMD) between manufacturers of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
instruments are currently inadequate for total body measurements. Therefore, manufacturer-
specific data for BMC and BMD in children are needed. Objective We provided age-and sex-
specific means and SDs for total-body and regional BMC and areal BMD in 8–8-y-old white
children. Design BMC and BMD of the head, arms, legs, pelvis, spine, and total body were …
