The purpose of this study is to establish the normal value of bone density in average Ghanian. The method of measurement is that described by Doyle (Br. J. Radiol., 34: 698-712, 1961). The value obtained through the present research can be regarded as normal ranges of bone density of Ghanian in 1977. They will serve as a standard for estimation of the bone density of the morbid. Also it will be a useful aid for the diagnosis of severity in some diseases, such as nutritional, hormonal and hematological.
