title: [Normal values in children of bone mineral content measured by dual photon absorptiometry].
abstract: We analyzed the results of dual photon absorptiometry measurements in 43 normal children. Results were correlated with age, body weight, and stature. Reference stature-specific values for bone mineral content in children are proposed. Furthermore, our results show that mineralization continues beyond the end of statural growth.
