Bone densitometry by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) in preterm newborns compared with full‐term peers in the first six months of life

Objectives: To longitudinally assess bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and whole‐body lean mass obtained through bone densitometry by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) in preterm newborns (PTNs) and compare them with full‐term newborns (FTNs) from birth to 6 months of corr...
