Abstract excerpt

Lean mass and areal bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total forearm were measured in 215 volunteer female twin pairs (122 monozygotic, 93 dizygotic), aged 10-26 years, using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The study was conducted in Melbourne from 1990 to 1994. Under the classic twin model, there was evidence for a genetic component of variation in bone mineral density, adjusted for...
