Additional and extended data on 2726 subjects from Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama provide confirming evidence for continuing bone expansion of the second metacarpal at midshaft. As shown in 4924 subjects from eight populations, subperiosteal apposition is more rapid in the female than in the male, and accounts for a net increase of 10% in cross‐sectional area from age 25 to age 85. Unlike endosteal resorption, which is precipitous in onset, adult subperiosteal gain is continuous from the third through the ninth decades
