    Body Mass Index (BMI): Bone density: Bone mass: Bone modelling: Bone remodelling: Bone remodelling transient: Bone turnover: Calciotropic hormone: Calcitonin: Calcidiol: Calcitriol: Calcium binding proteins: Cartilage: Chondrogenesis: Collagen: An indirect measure of body fatness = weight (kg)/height (m)’. the density of bone in a skeletal unit (g/cm*), including bone matrix, mineral, soft tissues (often confused with bone mineral density). the mass of bone in a skeletal unit (g), including bone matrix, mineral, soft tissues. the mass of bone mineral in a skeletal unit (g). the density of bone mineral in a skeletal unit (g/cm?); when measured by absorptiometry it represents the mass of bone mineral in a scanned area (g/cm?) and is not a true density measurement. the processes of bone formation and growth. the structured sequence of events by which old bone is replaced by new bone which involves resorption followed by formation and mineralisation. an incremental change in measured bone mineral content/density caused by an alteration in bone remodelling rate. the replacement of old bone by new bone. a hormone involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis. hormone secreted by the C-cells of the thyroid, involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and other functions. 25-hydroxyvitamin D produced in the liver. 1,25(OH),vitamin D; hormone secreted by the kidney involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and other functions. proteins involved in the intestinal absorption of calcium. stiff, load bearing tissue: during early life, a cartilage model of a bone precedes its transformation into mature bone tissue, a process which is only completed at maturity when growth ceases. cartilage formation. the principal protein of the bone matrix.
