We studied 41 iliac bone blocks taken by biopsies from normal Chinese who were divided into several groups by age. On the schedule of 3-11-3-5 days, double tetracycline labellings were administered before bone biopsies. Ten microns undecalcified sections were made with Reichert-Jung microtome and analyzed with Zeizz MOP-Videoplan by light and fluorescent microscopy. The results showed that bone formation had a peak value at adolescence and the mean wall thickness decreased gradually with age. Bone dynamics fluctuated with age because of endocrinological changes in the intrinsic environment. The data we obtained may be used as a reference for clinical investigation of various metabolic bone disorders.
