Low Sit-to-Stand Performance is Associated with Low Femoral Neck Bone Mineral Density in Healthy Women

Bone mass may be adjusted to control the strains produced by muscular activity. We assessed the relationship between maximum rising strength (MRS), a new measurement of sit-to-stand performance, and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD), taking into account possible confounding variables. The...

Description
Summary:Bone mass may be adjusted to control the strains produced by muscular activity. We assessed the relationship between maximum rising strength (MRS), a new measurement of sit-to-stand performance, and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD), taking into account possible confounding variables. The study population consisted of 249 healthy women aged 18–76. We measured MRS with a dynamometer fixed on the ground and connected by an adjustable nonelastic cord to a padded belt. FN BMD was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry. Women in the first quartile of FN BMD (
