Determinants of bone mineralization in 8 to 20 year old Finnish females

Article Abstract:

The determinants of bone mass and density in Finnish girls and young women were investigated in a cross-sectional study of 176 female volunteers aged 8-20 living in the city of Tampere, Finland. Findings indicated that the body weight appears to be the most significant determinant of the bone mineral content and bone mineral areal density (BMD) of growing Finnish girls. However, during puberty exercise may beneficially affect BMD at the loaded skeletal sites.
