... trabecular bone mineral density and radial shaft bone mineral content were also assessed by using quantitative computed tomography and single photon absorptiometry, respectively. 2. The mean annual decreases (95% confidence intervals) were: total body calcium, 7.8% (−12.0 to −3.7%; P <0.001); spinal...

...Bjørn Krølner; Birte Toft 1. The skeletal effects of simple bed rest and re-ambulation were studied in a consecutive series of 34 patients (aged 18–60 years) hospitalized with low backache due to protrusion of a lumbar intervertebral disc. The bone mineral content of the second, third and fourth...

...Bjørn Krølner; Birte Toft; Stig Pors Nielsen; Erik Tøndevold 1. The skeletal effects of physical training were studied in a controlled trial involving 31 healthy women (aged 50–73 years) with previous Colles' fracture of the forearm. The bone mineral content of the lumbar spine and both distal...

...B. Krølner; S. Pors Nielsen 1. Bone mineral content of the second, third and fourth lumbar vertebrae was determined in normal women and women with clinical osteoporosis by using dual-photon ( 153 Gd) absorptiometry. 2. A cross-sectional study of 70 normal women (aged 19–88 years) showed a bone loss...
