Abstract
The bones of children grow at a faster rate during the first few years of childhood and puberty. Recently, advances in assays for biochemical markers of bone formation have provided noninvasive means to study bone growth and metabolism in children ( 1)( 2)( 3)( 4)( 5)( 6)( 7)( 8)( 9)( 10)( 11)( 12)( 13)( 14). Because of the variations in the rate of bone growth in different age groups and possible ethnic differences, age-specific reference ranges for bone formation markers must be established in a particular pediatric population.Keywords
