Distal radius bone microarchitecture: what are the differences between age 25 and old age?

ConclusionCompared with young adults at the time of PBM, the transitional zones in older adults were enlarged at the expense of the compact-appearing cortex with a greater porosity in all cortical sub-compartments. The similar SD differences in aBMD and vBMD between older and younger groups suggest that the differences in bone area are not leading to major artefactual change in aBMD.
