"Osteoporosis in children is often an undiagnosed condition. Diagnosis is usually made after several fractures occur with minimal trauma or radiographs demonstrate hypodense bones. The relationship of bone mineral density (BMD) to fracture risk in children is controversial," scientists in the United States report.
"In our study, we were referred 16 patients between the ages of 5 and 15 years who had had two or more fractures without serious trauma. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans were performed to determine each patient's BMD.
