Methods Bone mineral density of the lumbar spines and hip in 1112 healthy subjects was measured with DMS Challenger dual\|energy X\|ray absorptiometer made in France. Results and Conclusions The peak bone mass of lumbar vertebrae and hip occurred in the age group 20~29 of males;that of Ward's triangle occurred in the age group 20~29 and that of other areas occurred in the age group 30~39 of females.The peak bone mass of lumbar vertebrae and hip of females are much higher than that of males,the differences being significant( P 0\^05).BMD of lumbar spines is related to BMD of hip for both sexes( P 0 05),but r =0 1~0 3;the measurements of these two sites can not be replaced each other.Read More
