Abstract

|
|
Fifty seven healthy girls aged 13-16years were recruited in this study to identify whether low birth weight could affect the puberty bone mineral density(BMD). We measured BMD at both the total body and lumbar spine using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry(DXA) in a group of girls who had low birth weight (Q500g) and in a control group of normal birth weight (> 2500g). There was no significant correlation between the birth weight and the puberty BIM. Our data suggest that low birth weight does not influence the puberty BMD.Key words:Birth weight, Puberty Bone Mineral Density
