Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that physical activity andor supplemental calcium (0.75 gday) and vitamin D (400 IU) would effectively slow bone loss, andor increase bone mineral content (BMC) in aged females (X=81) over three years. In vivo BMC and width of the radius was determined by photon absorptiometry at two sites. Four groups were formed: a control, a drug, a physical activity plus drug. A single tailed t-test was used to compare the slope of the linear regression of 10 data points collected on each subject. The BMC of the control group declined 3.29 , while the physical activity group and drug group demonstrated a 2.29 increase and a 1.58 increase respectively, during the study. Verf.-Referat
