[Physiological increase in the mineral content of the radius and ulna during growth (author's transl)].
Bone mineral estimations were carried out in 273 normal youngsters aged 6 to 18 years using a 125I photon absorption technique. Measurements were carried out at two points on the radius and ulna. Normal values for different ages were calculated for both sexes. Statistical analysis of the data, together with measurements obtained from 773 adults, has shown that the curve derived from children and adolescents merges smoothly with that for adults.
