Lower Extremity Muscle Strength Does Not Independently Predict Bone Mineral Density of the Proximal Femur in Healthy Older Adults
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of the present study was to determine the extent to which lower extremity muscular strength is an independent predictor of proximal femur BMD in healthy older adults. It was hypothesized that the BMD of the proximal femur in older adults would not be related to the maximum voluntary isometric strength of the hip, knee, and ankle muscles after adjusting for the influence of body weight and height.

The Influence of High-Impact Exercise on Cortical and Trabecular Bone Mineral Content and 3D Distribution Across the Proximal Femur in Older Men: A Randomized Controlled Unilateral Intervention.
Regular exercisers have lower fracture risk, despite modest effects of exercise on bone mineral content (BMC). Exercise may produce localized cortical and trabecular bone changes that affect bone strength independently of BMC. We previously demonstrated that brief, daily unilateral hopping exercises increased femoral neck BMC in the exercise leg versus the control leg of older men. This study e...

BACKGROUND In a cross-sectional study in 403 healthy, independently living elderly men (mean age 78 years), we determined which are the main physiological determinants of functional ability in the elderly, and which components of the somatotropic system contribute to the maintenance of functional ability. METHODS Functional ability was assessed by the number of problems in activities of daily...

Progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. A linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. The opposite femur was used as the control measurement. Bone mineral density was unchanged at two mo...
