The mechanical competence of bone is determined by its macroscopic geometric characteristics [size, shape, apparent density (BMAD), cortical thickness (CWT), cross-sectional area, trabecular architecture], intrinsic material properties (stiffness, strength), and loading conditions (mode, direction, rate) at a given skeletal site, The main objective of this study was to introduce precise methods for further analysis of dual energy X-ray absorptiometric (DXA) data and for estimating macroscopic mechanical characteristics of bone at several skeletal sites representing both the axial and appendicular skeleton, This study showed that using computational BMAD, CWT and dimensional parameters, different site-specific mechanical charateristics (stiffness and strength indices) of a typical long bone (a bone consisting of both the cortical shaft and trabecular metaphyses and epiphyses at both ends) can be approximated with a low precision error (generally
