FACTORS AFFECTING MECHANISMS OF INCREASED BONE DENSITY FORMATION IN CHILDREN LIVING ON RADIOLOGICALLY CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES AFTER THE ChNPP ACCIDENT
Abstract:Objective: to determine the causes of increased bone mineral density (BMD) based on case history, clinical and laboratory data, including the assay of hormones involved in ossification processes in children, living on radiologically contaminated territories (RCT) after the accident at the ChNPP, compared to the normative BMD patterns. Materials and methods. There were 289 children involved in the study. The 1st group included persons with a BMD above 100 IU, 2nd group – with normative BMD (100–85 IU). Family h… Show more
