The mean radium-226 content of samples of vertebrae from New York City
and San Francisco is 0.032 and 0.026 picocuries of radium-226 per gram of
calcium, respectively. The ratio of these two mean values is associated with a
similar ratio of radium-226 to calcium found in the diet at the two locations. A
plot of the radium-226 content of bone as a function of age indicates that there
is no marked difference in levels of bone radium with age. (auth)
