SOS values were obtained from the proximal phalanges of the last four fingers of the dominant hand. Nutritional habits and activity level of the children were documented by a standardized questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Children with fractures had a significantly lower SOS compared with children without a history of fractures. This difference in SOS could not be explained by differences in diet, body mass index, or physical activity.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: Previous studies have suggested that low BMD levels might contribute to an increased prevalence of fractures in patients with systemic diseases. Our study showed that, in an otherwise healthy pediatric population, the SOS values are lower in children with fractures compared with healthy controls. Despite statistical significance, the biological impact of the results remains unclear. The difference in SOS values could not be explained by any of the studied environmental factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.040401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,27]],"date-time":"2006-04-27T00:44:52Z","timestamp":1146098692000},"page":"1276-1279","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Quantitative Ultrasound Assessment in Children With Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Johannes","family":"Schalamon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Graz Medical School, Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Singer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Graz Medical School, Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerold","family":"Schwantzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Medical Informatics, Statistics and Documentation, University of Graz, Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yrj\u00e4n\u00e4","family":"Nietosvaara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024013019193229300_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1097\/01202412-199704000-00002","article-title":"Epidemiology of children's fractures","volume":"6","author":"Landin","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Pediatr Orthop B"},{"key":"2024013019193229300_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1016\/S8756-3282(00)00407-5","article-title":"Age, gender, and fragility fractures are associated with differences in quantitative ultrasound independent of bone mineral density","volume":"28","author":"Karlsson","year":"2001","journal-title":"Bone"},{"key":"2024013019193229300_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"317","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(85)80501-1","article-title":"Clinical longitudinal standards for height and height velocity for North American children","volume":"107","author":"Tanner","year":"1985","journal-title":"J Pediatr"},{"key":"2024013019193229300_bib4","first-page":"1","article-title":"Fracture patterns in children.
