  1. The standardized cortical thickness in each height (proximal, central, and distal diaphysis) of the four groups (young men, young women, elderly men, and elderly women) was compared among the four areas of the axial plane (medial, anterior, lateral, and posterior areas), using one-way ANOVA with Tukey test. M–L = comparison between medial and lateral standardized thickness; A–P = comparison between anterior and posterior standardized thickness; M = medial standardized thickness; L = lateral standardized thickness; A = anterior standardized thickness; P = posterior standardized thickness; n.s. = p > .01
