骨骼中矿物质的密度是老年妇女是否患有乳癌的灵敏的风险预报器。匹兹堡大学医学中心一个研究小组报道说,在人体仙三处骨骼处矿物质密度的妇女,患乳癌的概率是低密度妇女的三倍,并且诊断时她们的乳癌可能已经处在晚期。这项研究,对8905名65岁以上的妇女跟踪了7年,研究者测量了她们腕部、前臂和脚后跟的骨骼中矿物质的密度,共有315个人患了癌症。那些在这三处骨骼中矿物 The density of minerals in bones is a sensitive risk predictor of whether older women have breast cancer. A team at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center reported that women with mineral density at the skeletal site of the human skeleton have a three times higher chance of developing breast cancer than women with low density, and that their breast cancer may have been at a late stage of diagnosis. The study tracked 8905 women over the age of 65 for 7 years. The researchers measured the density of minerals in the bones of their wrists, forearms and heels. A total of 315 individuals had cancer. Those minerals in these three bones
