dc.description.abstractPurpose:  To determine the correlation of bone mineral density (BMD) among the lumbar spines, proximal femur, and distal forearm in women.Design:  Retrospective, descriptive studyMaterials:  and Methods:  We reviewed the results of bone mineral density performed at Srinagarind Hospital from May 1997 to June 1999.  Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) technique was used to determine the bone mineral densities (BMDs) at the lumbar spines, proximal femur, and distal forearm in 230 women of age range from 31 to 87 years (mean age = 53.5 years).  Most cases were healthy, with only 10 cases being osteoporotic.Results:  A significant correlation (pen_US
