Objectives: Optimization of bone health is a very important concern now a day. Achievement of optimal peak bone mineral mass is the best means of preventing osteoporosis in adulthood. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become the basis for the evaluation of skeletal health in all ages. The aim of the work: This work aims to assess bone parameters in Alhasa children, Saudi Arabia. Patient & methods: A Cross-sectional survey study involves 126 healthy children (83) boys & (43) girls. Their ages range from (3–15 years). Results: The mean of Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were (0.915 ± 0.34 & 0.795 ± 0.133) (43.93 ± 29.4 & 37.63 ± 11.2) in boys and in girls respectively. These values were lower than other areas in Saudi Arabia. BMD & BMC are statistically significant positive correlation with age in both sex, (r = 0.567 P = 0.000 & r = 0.57 P |
