Abstract
As part of a study to determine the effect of age on 90Sr retention by children, metabolic balance studies were performed with 3 children aged 6 years and 3 children aged 9 years. The children were selected as being normal on the basis of clinical history, physical examination, serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase, routine laboratory tests and bone-age radiographs. The children were maintained in a metabolic ward for the 15-day balance period and were fed commercially available foods. A balanced diet, recommended by the National Research Council, provided normal intakes of all dietary components. The diet was consumed quantitatively during the balance period and for one month prior to the period. Diet, urine and feces were analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, stable strontium, and 90Sr content.
