Original Contribution Longitudinal Changes in Forearm Bone Mineral Density in Women and Men Aged 45–84 Years: The Tromsø Study, a Population-based Study
The aim of this study was to describe changes in bone mineral density in Norwegian women and men aged 45–84 years in a population-based, longitudinal study. Bone mineral density (g/cm2) was measured at distal and ultradistal forearm sites with single x-ray absorptiometric devices in 3,169 women and...
