Abstract
The diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy and osteoporosis is established by clinical manifestations, biochemical laboratory tests, X-ray and bone scan but early diagnosis, determination of treatment of various metabolic bone diseases are not satisfied with any above methods. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has been shown to be a reliable, reproducible, and noninvasive way to assess bone mineral status. We evaluated the bone mineral density of normal Korean children for normal and standard values. The results were as follows: 1) The increasing BMC (bone mineral density) was demonstrated in those children, with female children having lower values than male children according to age (p<0.05). 2) We demonstrated the BMD mean values, standard deviation, correlation coefficient and regres- sion equation according to age and sex. 3) BMD fo spine was the highest correlation coefficient in male children (r=0.99), but BMD of arm was the highest correlation coefficient in female children (r=0.99).
Key Words: BMD(born mineral density), Chidren
