We examined the differences in osteocyte and lacunar density between Black and White women, using previously obtained iliac bone biopsies from 34 healthy Black women, aged 21–70 years, and 94 White women, aged 20–73 years. For each subject, the density of osteocytes (Ot.N/B.Ar), empty lacunae (EL.N/B.Ar), and total lacunae (Tt.L.N/B.Ar) and the proportion of osteocyte-occupied lacunae (Ot.N/Tt.L.N)...
