ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1023/B:JRNC.0000017315.05034.85 | Abstract: | In 1994, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) initiated a 5-year Co-ordinated Research Project (CRP) to determine geographical and racial differences in peak bone mineral density (BMD) in men and women aged 15-49 years. The study demonstrates that there are distinct global differences in BMD at the hip and spine in both men and women approximating to one population standard deviation between populations with the highest and lowest BMD. These differences persist following adjustments for age, sex and body size. Such information is valuable in understanding the reasons for global differences in fracture rate and predicting future trends in fracture incidence. | Source Title: | Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/132892 | ISSN: | 02365731 | DOI: | 10.1023/B:JRNC.0000017315.05034.85 |
