Bone Mineral Density in 10 to75 Year-Old Iranian Healthy Women: Population Base Study
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem in Iran. Bone densitometry is used to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis and if necessary, prevent bone fractures, especially that of femoral neck. Bone density is related to several factors including race, age, sex, environmental factors and nutrition...
