The bone mineral content and the bone mineral areal content were determined with dual-photon absorptiometry in the third lumbar vertebra in a random sample of 214 women between 35 and 80 years of age in the city of Göteborg, Sweden.
Abstract
The bone mineral content (BMC) and the bone mineral areal content (BMAC) were determined with dual-photon absorptiometry in the third lumbar vertebra in a random sample of 214 women between 35 and 80 years of age in the city of Göteborg, Sweden. A continuous aging decrease (1%/year) of both the BMC and the BMAC was noted after age 35. The rate at which bone loss occurred was similar for all age groups when analyzed by 5 year intervals. No clear acceleration of bone loss was noted around the usual time of the menopause.

The findings suggest that the common assumption about a large ongoing loss of trabecular bone after menopause may be erroneous, as are the implications of the findings for calcium metabolism, anatomical correlations and fracture incidences.

It was found that BMC values adjusted for width had a normal distribution in all decades and the variation in BMC values did not increase with age, which suggest that the BMC values of osteoporotics would be at the lower end of normally distributed values for the population.

Results from an ongoing study of mineral loss in oophorectomized women suggest that vertebral cancellous bone loss was significant for the group as a whole at 12 months, while mean peripheral measurements showed no change.

Patterns of bone loss in the axial skeleton have been studied in a sample of Swedish women participating in a longitudinal population study, with bigger differences in bone mineral content between women of different menstrual status than betweenWomen of different age.

The long-term stability was better than 1% during a five-month period as tested by phantom measurements, and the reproducibility in patient measurements is also affected by variations in positioning, movements during measurement and base line errors.
