Bone mineral content in normal and malnourished children.

Abstract:

:Bone mineral content (BMC) was determined at the distal radius in 70 children aged 2-14 years; Group I comprising 34 normal healthy children and Group II 36 malnourished children by the method of single photon absorptiometry. The mean value of BMC in Group I was 0.3 +/- 0.04 g/cm in 2-5 year, 0.52 +/- 0.08 g/cm in 6-10 year and 0.77 +/- 0.88 g/cm in 11-14 year age groups. No significant difference in the BMC was seen between boys and girls. An increase of BMC corresponded to growth spurts in 2-5 year and 11-14 year age groups. There was a significant reduction of BMC in Group II and in grade III malnutrition in 2-5 year and 11-14 year age groups as compared to Group I children. The study provides normal BMC data for Indian children and suggests that this can help to detect undemineralization of bones in malnourished children during the growth periods.
