Time Trends in Trajectories of Forearm Mineral Content and Bone Size during Childhood—Results from Cross-Sectional Measurements with the Same Apparatus Four Decades Apart
Evidence suggests that single photon absorptiometry (SPA)-measured forearm bone mineral density (BMD) is lower in contemporary children in Malmö than it was four decades ago, but the fracture incidence in the at-risk population (all Malmö children) has been stable during the same period. The aim of this study was to evaluate if improvements in skeletal structure over time may explain this observat
