Measurement of Bone Mineral Density by DEXA for Healthy People

Abstract

We measured bone mineral density in lumbar spine for healthy people by DEXA. BMD is decrease with ages in female, and lateral BMD is more sensitive than frontal BMD. There is also high coefficient of correlation between frontal and lateral, lateral and cancellous BMD. But we have some problems (position, etc) in measuring lateral BMD, so we will have more trials.
