Abstract: | The effect of age and sex on eight elements in cortical bone of femoral neck of 78 relatively healthy 15-55 years old women
(n = 33) and men (n = 45) was studied. Mass fraction of Ca, Cl, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, and Sr in intact bone samples were determined by instrumental
neutron activation analysis using short-lived radionuclides. The obtained results were in good agreement with the literature
data with the exception of Mn and Sr. The mean value of Mn mass fraction was an order of magnitude lower and Sr mean mass
fraction was in 1.5-5 times higher than the reference values. No age- and sex-related differences in bone composition were
detected.
