Method: Thirty-seven women (aged 82.4 [SD=5.7] years) voluntarily participated in this study. The vibration group (n=19) trained on a vibration platform twice a week (20 Hz and 2 mm) whereas controls (n=18) did not participate in any training program. Bone mass was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the hip region. General linear repeated measures ANOVA (group by time) was used to examine the effect of whole body vibration on bone mass changes. Results: After the intervention, in all the hip regions (total hip, femoral neck, trochanter, intertrochanter, Ward’s area), no statistically significant changes in bone mass were found. Conclusion: Eight months of whole body vibration training (twice a week) in elderly women do not produce osteogenic effects.2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6205310.3305/nh.2015.31.4.8441http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/62053oai:zaguan.unizar.es:62053Nutricion Hospitalaria 31, 4 (2015), 1654-1659byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
