PART ONE:Bone mineral density and geometric measurements with DXA at proximal femur in normal subjects.
Objective:To evaluate bone mineral density and geometric structure of the proximal femur in normal subjects for analyzing the relationship between geometric structure with age,height and weight.
Material and methods:DXA measurements of the proximal femur were obtained from 3030 normal subjects of which there were 549 males with age from 20-90 years (mean age 48.38±16.28 yeas), as well as 2481 fema...
