Age dynamics of bone mineral density and of morphometric data in the lumbar spine by results of densitometrical research
Morphometric parameters and the mineral density of lumbar spine were studied in 929 people (740 women and 189 men) aged 20 - 87 years, living in Karelia. The mineral density of bone was estimated by a method of a two-power x-ray absorptiometriy. The maximum decrease in a mineralization is revealed i...

| Summary: | Morphometric parameters and the mineral density of lumbar spine were studied in 929 people (740 women and 189 men) aged 20 - 87 years, living in Karelia. The mineral density of bone was estimated by a method of a two-power x-ray absorptiometriy. The maximum decrease in a mineralization is revealed in the second lumbar vertebra. Decrease in mineral density was accompanied by increase in width of vertebra more at men than at women. |
