摘要: Abstract The relationships between metacarpal morphometric, vertebral and forearm density measurements the prevalence of peripheral fractures were examined in 239 postmenopausal women (median age 63, range 32–84 years). Metacarpal cortical area/total area ratio (CA/TA) was measured with needle calipers, mineral (FMD) by single photon absorptiometry (VMD) energy quantitative computed tomography. Of subjects 97 had not suffered any fractures, 44 at least one previous fracture but no 41 a history 57 both fractures. There significant correlations measurement CA/TA FMD (r = 0.65, p < 0.001) VMD 0.41, 0.001). Similar existed mean multiple VMD. (p 0.001), <...
