Relationships between bone mineral density, body composition, and isokinetic strength in postmenopausal women

The increase in body fat mass (BFM) and the loss of lean body mass (LBM) or muscle strength with age affects bone mineral (BMD). These factors increase the prevalence and incidence of obesity and sarcopenia, which have unclear effects on bone mineral density. The purpose of this study was to determine how the above selected factors affect BMD.A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 58 women (aged 62.1 ± 4.8 years). Total body, left...
