title: [Peculiarities of bone metabolism in healthy men of Georgian nationality].
abstract: The purpose of the present research was studying parameters of the bone metabolism and bone mineral density in the context of the risk - factor of osteoporosis among young healthy men. 56 practically healthy men in the age of 22-37 years were investigated. With the help of ultrasonic densitometry cases of osteopenia and osteoporosis were revealed. The received data confirm opinion about non-uniform bone mineral density among men of young age.
