Slope swamps have surfaces that slope downward with the lowest end positioned lower than the upslope side. They occupy glacial lakebeds and outwash areas, or can be associated with other kinds of wetland. They may occur in sloping drainageways, on mineral or peaty soils. Channels may be absent, but small channels with intermittent flow or small, partially buried channels may be present. 1, record 1, English, - slope%20swamp

Les marécages inclinés ont des surfaces à pente descendante dont la partie la plus basse se situe plus bas que le côté de la pente ascendante. Ils occupent le lit des lacs glaciaires et des zones d’épandage fluvio-glaciaire, ou sont associés à d’autres genres de terres humides. Ils se trouvent aussi sur les pentes canalisées, sur les sols minéraux ou tourbeux. Même s’il peut y avoir absence de chenaux, il peut toutefois y avoir de petits chenaux à écoulement intermittent ou partiellement cachés. 1, record 1, French, - mar%C3%A9cage%20inclin%C3%A9

Une masse osseuse inférieure à la moyenne pour la population normale moins deux déviations standard traduit un risque de fracture qui s’accroît encore lorsque le seuil fracturaire est franchi. Mais elle ne demeure qu’un facteur de risque parmi d’autres. Certains ont proposé de tenir compte de la vitesse de perte osseuse en 1 ou 2 ans mais aucune technique de densitométrie n’a une reproductibilité suffisante actuellement. 1, record 3, French, - perte%20osseuse

Le pic atteint en fin de maturité squelettique est important à considérer, le risque ostéoporotique ultérieur est d’autant plus grand que la masse osseuse était basse à l'âge de 30 ans. Mais il n’ est nullement démontré que la pente de déperdition osseuse soit la même pour tous. 2, record 3, French, - perte%20osseuse
