This data set contains information on bone density and bone mass for adult subjects aged 25-74 years from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I), 1971-75 sample. Baseline hand x-rays were reread in 1994 for bone density and bone mass using a technique called Radiographic Absorptiometry (RA) by CompuMed Inc. A third variable, photodensitometry bone density, has been included on this data set for the convenience of data users. This diskette complements the NHANES I, Anthropometry, Goniometry, Skeletal Age, Bone Density, and Cortical Thickness, Age 1-74 Years. This file must be used with the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study cohort in order to perform any type of analytical outcomes such as hip-fractures. Ordering information
