...P.M. Braillon Objectives: To compute the annual changes in total bone mineral content (BMCt), lean tissue mass and fat mass (LTM and FM) during growth. Methods: Whole body DXA data were used to calculate the annual changes of the parameter P (P = BMCt, LTM or FM), as a percentage, as ΔP% = 100 × (P...
