Abstract

Underprivileged adolescent girls in Pune, India, were shorter and lighter, and had reduced lean body mass (LBM) compared with relatively 'well off' age-matched South Asian and white Caucasian girls in the UK. Pune girls had low bone mass for projected bone area (BA) in comparison to their UK counterparts, but they had the appropriate amount of bone mineral content (BMC) for their LBM.
