We have studied a normal adult caucasian population (462 females, 264 males age range 20-84) using dual photon absorptiometry to establish patterns of bone reduction at the spine and hip. Subjects were either randomly selected from the electoral roll or volunteers. Bone mineral density reduction at the lumbar spine in females appeared to increase at 40 years and was sustained until 60 years. In males bone mineral density at the spine was preserved. The density at the hip in females decreased throughout adult life beginning before the menopause. In males bone density was preserved at the femoral neck and trochanteric region but not at Wards triangle where reduction occurred throughout life. When compared with other normal populations there was higher bone mineral density at the spine in postmenopausal New Zealand females but no significant difference at the hip.
