Hogler et al evaluated bone mineral content and lean tissue mass for pediatric patients. The ratio of bone mineral content to lean tissue mass usually increases with height. The authors are from the Children's Hospital at Westmead (Sydney) and University Hospital Innsbruck.
Patient selection: pediatric patients
Parameters:
(1) height in cm
(2) sex
mean ratio of bone mineral content to lean tissue mass in grams for a male =
= EXP((0.00044 * (height)) - 3.6716)
standard deviation for the ratio of bone mineral content to lean tissue mass in grams for a male =
= 0.00426
mean ratio of bone mineral content to lean tissue mass in grams for a female =
= EXP((0.0062 * (height)) - 3.8472)
standard deviation for the ratio of bone mineral content to lean tissue mass for a female =
= 0.00484
