Reference Curves for Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition in Women Aged 20-89

"Each study participant will undergo a bone density measurement scan. The equipment used in this study will be the STRATOS DR X-ray bone densitometer (APELEM, 9 Avenue du Canal Philippe Lamour, 30660 Gallargues-le-Montueux, France). This device is indicated for diagnosing osteoporosis, assessing the risk of fracture in weakened bone areas, monitoring bone density, monitoring body composition and diagnosing vertebral anomalies (vertebral compression, fractures).~In general, the time for a scan is less than 1 min for the spine, less than than 1 min for the femur, less than 1 min for the forearm and around 4 min for the whole body.~The total duration of the patient's participation in this research will be approximately 2 hours."
