Abstract  

The Ca, Cl, K, Mg, Na, P, and Sr concentration of rib-bone was studied of 78 relatively healthy 15–55 years old women and men using instrumental neutron activation analysis. A tendency for Ca, P, and Mg concentrations to decrease with age was found in subjects over 35 which was manifested more distinctively in women. It was shown that higher volumes of density, Ca and P concentrations as well as lower K, Cl, and H2O contents were typical of female ribs being compared to those in male ribs. The average annual losses of the rib Ca in the Russian women over 25 were estimated to be 0.7% of the concentration peak level. They agree well with data available for citizens of the USA and Germany.
