The bone mineral content of the second phalanx of the second digit was studied by quantitative microdensitometry. It is concluded that age-dependent loss of bone is a generalised phenomenon in men and women that occurs at different rates at different ages. In women, an accelerated rate of bone loss
This analysis does not address the issue of precision, but given the high levels of performance of present-day densitometers, this would not be expected to affect the fundamental results.
