Abstract

THE skeleton, containing 99 per cent of the total body calcium, serves two major functions, First of all, it plays an important part in calcium homeostasis, both responding to and contributing to changes in calcium metabolism. Secondly, the structural integrity of the skeleton is essential for normal existence. Fractures, by far the most important abnormality of the skeletal system, occur with increasing frequency in the elderly because of decreasing strength of the skeleton. This weakness is due largely to a reduction in skeletal mass caused by an imbalance between the formation and the resorption of bone. Throughout life, even after . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
