Structure of Human Vertebral Lamellar Bone in Age-Associated Involution and Osteoporosis

We compared the structure of lamellar bone in anterolateral zones of vertebral bodies in adult and senile subjects in health and osteoporosis. The appearance of structural signs of age-related osteopenia and enlargement of coplanar consolidations of the bone matrix crystals were noted. Osteopenia wa...

Summary:We compared the structure of lamellar bone in anterolateral zones of vertebral bodies in adult and senile subjects in health and osteoporosis. The appearance of structural signs of age-related osteopenia and enlargement of coplanar consolidations of the bone matrix crystals were noted. Osteopenia was more pronounced in osteoporosis, while the structural organization of the mineral component did not differ from that in age-matched controls.
