Abstract
Evidence of age-related changes in physical properties of bone, independent of mineral density, was provided by significant (P < 0.05) partial correlation between ultimate tensile stress and age. However, 75% of variance in ultimate tensile stress, and 85% of variance in ultimate compressive stress was accounted for by variation in mineral density.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
