    Area of Science:

    • Bone Densitometry
    • Public Health
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Establishing population-specific reference ranges for bone density is critical for accurate health assessments.
    • Previous bone density data for the average Ghanaian population was lacking.
    • Accurate bone density standards are essential for diagnosing various health conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the normal bone density values for the average Ghanaian population.
    • To create a baseline standard for bone density measurements in Ghana.
    • To aid in the diagnosis and severity assessment of bone-related conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the measurement method described by Doyle (Br. J. Radiol., 34: 698-712, 1961).
    • Collected bone density data from a representative sample of the average Ghanaian population.
    • Data collection was conducted in 1977.

    Main Results:

    • Established the normal ranges of bone density for Ghanaians in 1977.
    • The obtained values serve as a reference standard for bone density estimation.
    • The data is applicable for assessing bone density in individuals with various morbidities.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully established normal bone density ranges for Ghanaians in 1977.
    • These established ranges are vital for clinical diagnosis and monitoring.
    • The findings support the assessment of nutritional, hormonal, and hematological conditions impacting bone health.
