| Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and proximal femur were measured with dual energy x ray absorptiometry. |
| The commoner forms of these devices in Europe and North America include heel and forearm dual energy x ray absorptiometry and quantitative ultrasound at the heel. |
| Bone mass was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and covariables that may have influenced fat and bone mass were taken into account. |
| Thereafter, bone mineral dansities were measured from lumbar vertebra and femur neck by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry method. |
| Owing to the increasing fracture risk with aging, screening of the spine and hip by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry is advisable. |
| To measure body fatness, one may use dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, densitrometry or bioelectrical impedance. |
