We found a mean 2.4 mg/cm3 (1.8%) bone loss per year in the age range 35–64 years. There was an accelerated phase (exponential) after menopause, with 4% loss per year for the first 1–5 years after menopause or 5-fold trabecular bone loss compared with the subsequent 11–15 years after menopause. Reproducibility was found to be 1.9%. This method thus compares with traditional QCT measurements and is highly reproducible. We find QCT using internal references a promising method for assessing fracture risk in perimenopausal women and for follow-up in osteoporotic patients.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
