[Infant bone quantity measurement. --Hoping for the growth of smooth bone].
As a method for measuring the bone mass of the children, we the measurement board for the measurement is improved so that the children may can be correspond ultrasonic wave bone density measuring apparatus CM100 made by FURUNO ELECTRIC Co., and the bone density of 11,418 pupils has been measured from 4 years old to 20 (male infants of 5,939 and female infants of 5,479) . And the evaluation system in each age is completed and we could put the ultrasonic wave measuring device on CM200. Then, it is proposed in order to hoping for the growth of the smooth bone of children in the developing time, and in order to utilize these measuring method and evaluations to the school education.
