Cartoon representations of tibiae at 50% site from the Gambian and Cambridge women using (A) data derived from manufacturer's software (Table 3) and (B) using data derived from manufacturer's software

Cartoon representations of tibiae at 50% site from the Gambian and Cambridge women using (A) data derived from manufacturer's software (Table 3) and (B) using data derived from manufacturer's software and shape-sensitive data (Table 4) combined. For comparison, actual peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) images, typical of each of the groups, are shown (C). The cartoons are not drawn to scale. Darker colors are used to represent more dense bone.
