[Physique types and the skeletal mineral saturation of young men and women].
The term "massiveness of the skeleton" does not reflect the amount of the mineral component in bones. As demonstrates application of the standard linear x-ray densitometry, in a more "massive" skeleton amount of mineral salts per a volume unit of the osseous tissue is less than in a thin "gracile" skeleton of the thoracal type of constitution. The muscular type of constitution concerning the mineral saturation occupies an intermediate position between the thoracal and digestive constitutional types.
