Bone mineral content in women with vertebral fractures.
Postmenopausal women, classified as osteoporotics on the basis of clinical and microradiographic findings, were found to have a low bone mineral content as compared with age-matched controls. The bone mineral content in 12 patients on a dietary supplement of calcium and vitamin D did not decrease during a two-year follow-up period.
