Age-related changes in 3D bone microstructure are more pronounced in the sub-endplate region than in the central region of human vertebral bodies

Thomsen Jesper Skovhus , Ebbesen Ebbe Nils , Bruel Annemarie

The vertebral body microstructure of young individuals appears to be divided into three equally high horizontal regions: two adjacent to the endplates and one in the centre of the vertebral body. With age this subdivision of the vertebral microstructure seems to vanish. The aim of the study was to investigate the differences in the age-related changes in vertebral microstructure in the two regions.Vertebral (L2) bone specimens from 41 women and 39 men ag...
