title: A non-Markovian model for calcium kinetics in the body.
abstract: We present a new generalized compartmental model for calcium kinetics as measured by tracer concentration in blood plasma. The parameter measuring incorporation of calcium in bone discriminates between different levels of physical development in female teenagers and between teenagers and adults.
