Galic E et al. – Bone volume and structural parameters indicated trabecular bone loss in most patients. Cellular parameters and MAR indicated variations in bone cell actions. No age–related decrease in histomorphometric parameters was found. After the patients were grouped according to MAR values, osteoblast and eroded surfaces were found to be lower in the group with decreased MAR values and elevated in the group of patients with increased MAR parameter. Trabecular thickness was greater in patients with lower than normal MAR, due to reduced resorption and probably loss of very thin trabeculae. These results suggest that idiopathic osteoporosis in man resembles many characteristics of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women resulting in impaired trabecular structure due to unbalanced cellular activity and bone turnover rate.
