Abstract

The sexual growth influences the position of bone density peak. The results obtained show a statistically significative correlation between BUA and BMD versus age, the menarche-age, and the period of exposure of bone-tissue to the oestrogen. After all, pQCT and ultrasound are useful techniques to evaluate bone density and structure also in a growing population. The results of this study show the possibility to use bidimensional quantitative ultrasound devices in clinical practice also in young population taking in account age and sexual development.
