Title: Impact of external bone size on the identification of low mass in children, using the Bolton Brush Data

Author(s): Karl J. Jepsen, PhD 

Description: Our analysis utilized data from the Bolton-Brush study, a longitudinal dataset which includes posteroanterior (PA) radiographs of the nondominant hand of White children from Cleveland, Ohio, collected around 1930. Hand radiographs from a randomly selected subgroup of those enrolled in this study were purchased from the Broadbent-Bolton Collection at the Bolton-Brush Growth Study Center. The current dataset included 45 females and 54 males who were approximately eight years old. Data included body weight and height, when available, and all morphological measures quantified from hand radiographs including metacarpal length, outer width, inner width and those derived assuming a circular cross-section (e.g., total area, cortical area, marrow area).
