Background: Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) can provide information complementary to dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), however, there is sparse normative data to enable meaningful clinical interpretation and comparison. This study aimed to develop age-stratified normative data for pQCT-derived bone parameters in Australian men.
Methods: Participants were men ( = 508, age 33-96 yr) from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study.
