TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Bone mineral content in men with fractures of the upper end of the femur JO - International orthopaedics A1 - Johnell, O. A1 - Nilsson, B. E. SP - 229 EP - 231 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - The bone mineral content in both forearms was measured in 34 men who had sustained fractures of the upper end of the femur and a 10-13% reduction from normal was found. Those men who were alcoholics or who had undergone gastric resection did not differ significantly from the remainder. In a parallel study in women the reduction of bone mineral mass was less and was scarcely detectable.
