Summary of age-related changes in fracture resistance of male rat bone. Depending on the bone tested, certain aging trends were similar to general observations from human bone analysis (not specific to a given anatomical region) while other trends were different. *There is limited published data on age-related changes in the structural strength of the diaphysis for the bending of whole human femurs and radii, but the indication is that this strength does not increase with age of the donor.
