Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures areal bone mineral density (BMD) and is affected by bone size. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) measures volumetric density and should not be affected by bone size. We hypothesized that pQCT could be used to measure geometric parameters in the tibia and that bone size, not density, would correlate with weight and height in 3 and 4 yr...
