Area of Science:

  • Neonatal physiology
  • Pediatric bone health
  • Medical imaging techniques

Context:

  • Limited data exists on bone mineral density (BMD) in newborns.
  • Establishing normal BMD values is essential for clinical assessment in the neonatal period.
  • Neonatal diseases and medications can impact bone mineralization.

Purpose:

  • To determine the normal range of total body bone mineral density in healthy newborns.
  • To provide reference values for assessing bone health in the neonatal population.

Summary:

  • Total body bone mineral density was measured in 16 healthy newborns (39 +/- 1.2 weeks gestational age) using dual photon densitometry.
  • Mean bone mineral content was 58.3 +/- 10.8 g, and mean bone mineral density was 0.369 +/- 9.6 g/cm².
