  • Title: Bone mineral content and estimated total body calcium in normal children and adolescents.
    Author: Christiansen C, Rödbro P, Nielsen CT.
    Journal: Scand J Clin Lab Invest; 1975 Oct; 35(6):507-10. PubMed ID: 1198053.
    Abstract:
    Bone mineral content in the distal part of the forearm was measured in 301 normal children and adolescents aged from 7-20 years to estimate total body calcium in these age groups. From year 7 to 9 and from year 15 to 20 the mean values in boys were significantly higher than those in girls. In the lower age groups there was a slow increase in estimated total body calcium with age, followed by a sharp increase at the age of puberty.
