Ultrasonography reference values for the calcaneus in children and adolescents living at high altitude in Peru
The study demonstrated that there are small discrepancies in bone health (BUA) among children between children and adolescents from different geographic regions. These findings support the creation of specific references and cut-off points for bone health in the pediatric population of a high altitude region of Peru. The results suggest the application of percentiles for the assessment of bone health in school and epidemiological contexts.
