Age changes in subperiosteal areas of human bones are described in 56 subjects of both sexes aged 18-96 years, using microradiographic and histological analysis of thick undecalcified sections from the midshaft of the femur, the tibia, the third metacarpal bone and the third rib. Till the age of 39, most areas of the subperiosteal bone consist of circumferential fundamental lamellae. From the age of 48, certain areas of the subperiosteal bone appear hypercalcified, while in others mineral precipitations occur in the inner layer of the periosteum close to the bone cortex, involving the deep periosteal fibers. These periosteal calcifications should partially account for the increase in transverse diameter of bones throughout adult life.
通过对56名年龄在18 - 96岁的男女受试者股骨、胫骨、第三掌骨和第三肋骨骨干厚的未脱钙切片进行显微放射照相和组织学分析，描述了人类骨骼骨膜下区域的年龄变化。直到39岁，骨膜下骨的大多数区域由环向基本板层组成。从48岁开始，骨膜下骨的某些区域出现钙化过度，而在其他区域，矿物质沉淀发生在靠近骨皮质的骨膜内层，累及深部骨膜纤维。这些骨膜钙化应部分解释了整个成年期骨骼横径的增加。
