The bone mineral density (BMD) determination is performed for 210 selected Shanghai residents of both sexes across the age range 15-50 using Hologic QDR-2000 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The results show that in female groups the peak value of L1-L4 BMD is 1.023±0.103g/cm² at the ages of 31~35, but in male groups it is 0.971±0.118g/cm² aged 26~30 and the peak period can last the ages 46-50. The similar conclusion is also obtained by further statistics.
