Genetic Influences on Muscle Strength, Lean Body Mass, and Bone Mineral Density: A Twin Study

1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt

Lean body mass and muscle strength are both associated with bone mineral density (BMD), which is known to be under strong genetic control. In this classical twin study, we examine the size of the genetic component of both muscle strength and lean body mass and to what degree they account for the genetic component of BMD. In all, 706 postmenopausal women were examined; 227 pairs of monozygous (MZ) twins and 126...
