Abstract excerpt
Bone strength is an important clinical endpoint of osteoporosis research. The evaluation of the relative importance of bone and muscle components to bone strength has widespread implications for the understanding and preventing of osteoporosis. The objectives of this study were to understand the interrelationship between the different components of the muscular skeletal system and to determine the effect of...
