Bone mineral density has been measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in both axial and peripheral skeleton of 208 randomly selected healthy women aged between 20 and 80 years. Examined women have been stratified into the age groups of every 10 years. Bone mineral density has been measured in lumbar spine L2-L4 (AP), L2-L3 (Lat.) and proximal femur together with total body mineral density in every examined woman. The obtained results are considered reference values for the Polish population.
