- Abstract
The article discusses a study which described the loss of hip bone mineral density (BMD) in older men. The study intended to describe hip bone loss in older men and to test whether BMD loss accelerates with age in an exponential manner. Results of the study revealed a modest bone loss acceleration in older men and a direct relationship between bone loss acceleration and age. Bone loss is highest in men who have the lowest BMD.
