PURPOSE: To determine if vertebral bone densities or vertebral body sizes contribute to gender differences in vertebral bone mass in adults.MATERLALS AND METHODS: Cancellous and cortical bone densities and dimensions of three lumbar vertebrae in 25 women and 18 men were measured with quantitative computed tomography (CT) and statistically analyzed.RESULTS: Neither cancellous nor cortical vertebral bone densities differed in healthy adults. Vertebral bodies in women had lower cross-sectional areas (8.22 cm(2) +/- 1.09 [standard deviation] versus 10.98 cm(2) +/- 1.25, P
