Reference data are mean (±1 SD) or median with interquartile range [25%; 75%]. Boldface indicates abnormal values.

Abbreviations: CaMean, the weighted mean calcium concentration of the bone area; CaWidth, the full width at half maximum of the distribution, describing the variation in mineralization density (25).
