Bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine (n = 892) and femur (n = 634) was measured using dual-photon absorptiometry in normal white women from seven diverse locations. The same model commercial scanner with a 153Gd source was used in all locations (SD = 1.3% among locations). There was not an age-as...
