Child Vertebral Density

[Lucy Donnellan Fronheiser]

I am looking for child vertebral density values for children of all
ages, most specifically young children or infants. I have found numerous
papers that publish the bone mineral density of vertebral bone for
children, but nothing on the actual density (mass/volume) of vertebral
bone. If anyone knows of any data that is published or unpublished that
they can share it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lucy
