Changes in soft tissue composition are the primary predictors of 4-year bone mineral density changes in postmenopausal women
Osteoporosis International(2009)
Abstract
Changes in body weight influence bone mineral density, but the role of body composition is not clear in postmenopausal women. Body weight and soft tissue composition predicted bone changes independent of calcium supplementation and exercise frequency, indicating that soft tissue composition should be measured in clinical trials.
