The bone mineral content of the second phalanx of the second digit was studied by quantitative microdensitometry. It is concluded that age-dependent loss of bone is a generalised phenomenon in men and women that occurs at different rates at different ages. In women, an accelerated rate of bone loss is observed between 50 and 57 years of age; in men such an acceleration is observed after 68 years of age. It appears that in a selected "ideal" population (with no disease or medication that may influence bone metabolism) the rate of bone mineral loss in women of 50-57 years of age is greater than in an unselected normal population. Furthermore, especially in the 50-57 years age group, the rate of loss at the mid-shaft of the phalanx in women is higher than at a site 25% from the proximal end. In men the rate of bone mineral loss at the 25% site exceeds that at midshaft, especially in the 68-75 year age group.
