Zhang F et al. – In conclusion, the differences of FNGPs according to gender and ethnicity provide important implications in the different prevalence of osteoporotic fracture among different gender and ethnic groups.
Methods- 861 Caucasian subjects and 3,021 Chinese individuals
- effects of age, sex, and ethnicity on five femoral neck geometric parameters (FNGPs): femoral neck periosteal diameter (W), cross-sectional area (CSA), cortical thickness (CT), sectional modulus (Z), and buckling ratio (BR) investigated
- CSA, CT, and Z displayed trends of decrease with age, but W and BR showed increasing trends with age in both Chinese and Caucasian females and males
- W, CSA, CT, and Z significantly higher in Caucasians than in Chinese and higher in males than in females except for BR between Chinese males and Chinese females
