Bone-muscle indices as risk factors for fractures in men: the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess bone-muscle (B-M) indices as risk factors for incident fractures in men.
METHODS: Participants of the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study completed a peripheral quantitative computed tomography scan at 66% of their tibial length. Bone macrostructure, estimates of bone strength, and muscle area were computed. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and body composition were assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. …
