Abstract

Bone mineral density (BMD) determination has been performed in 210 selected Shanghai residents of both sexes of age range 15–50 using Hologic QDR-2000 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The results showed that in female groups the peak value of L1-L4 BMD was 1.023 g/cm2 at the age of 31–35, but in the male groups it was 0.971 g/cm2 aged 26–30 and the peak period lasted till the group aged 46–50. The similar conclusion has also obtained by further statistics.
