Sex differences in human skeletal involution

ABSTRACT CORTICAL and trabecular bone are known to differ in their rates of involution, and bones in certain critical sites show osteoporosis earlier and with more serious consequences than

elsewhere in the skeletal system. We considered it important, therefore, to try to ascertain the rate of skeletal atrophy with age and sex and also note whether there were differences in the

rate of involution in different skeletal sites. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
