The results on X-ray densitometric studies of the hand bones in adolescent and young people at the age of 10--17 years (369 persons in all) are presented in the work. Processes of mineralization, ossification and synostosis, as the investigation has demonstrated, are closely connected with each other. From the beginning of ossification in the pisiform and sesamoid bones of the first metacarpophalageal joint (11--12 years of age) up to the completion of synostosis in short tubular bones of the hand (15--16 years of age), a decrease of mineral salts is noted in osseous tissue. Hence, accumulation of mineral salts in skeleton of children and adolescent persons does not occur smoothly, but rather distinctly reflects those functional changes which take place in the adolescent organism when the genital glands begin their increased activity.
本文展示了对10至17岁青少年和年轻人手部骨骼进行X线骨密度研究的结果（共计369人）。研究表明，矿化、骨化和骨性结合过程相互紧密关联。从第一掌指关节豌豆骨和籽骨开始骨化（11至12岁）到手部短管状骨骨性结合完成（15至16岁），骨组织中矿物质盐含量减少。因此，儿童和青少年骨骼中矿物质盐的积累并非平稳发生，而是明显反映了青春期机体在性腺开始增强活动时所发生的功能变化。
