[Linear bone densitometry by monochromatic photon absorptiometry. A study of a normal population in Apulia]

An epidemiological survey was conducted on a group of Apulian residents in order to compare the densitometric data obtained with those produced by other European and North American authors. The results confirm the need for personal data on our own population given the often significant differences in order to avoid errors in monitoring patients who may require even long-term treatment.
