title: [Effects of local and overall vibration on bone mineral density and phosphorus and calcium metabolism].
abstract: The authors studies bone mineral density (BMD) was studied by ultrasound densitometry of the calcaneus on an Achilles + device (Lunar, USA) and phosphorus and calcium metabolism in patients with vibration disease. The patients' age ranged from 41 to 61 years. A control group comprised 88 healthy males of the same age. Long-term exposure to systemic and local vibration causes a reduction in the mineral density of bony tissue in the presence of slightly enhanced bone resorption.
