Whole-body and segmental analysis of body composition in adult males with achondroplasia using dual X-ray absorptiometry.
Achondroplasia is a condition characterized by a genetic mutation affecting long bone endplate development. Current data suggests that the bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) of achondroplasic populations are below age matched individuals of average stature (controls). Due to t...
