Yin, L., Xu, Z., Wang, L., Li, W., Zhao, Y., Su, Y., Sun, W., Liu, Y., Yang, M., Yu, A., Blake, G. M., Wu, X., Veldhuis-Vlug, A., Cheng, X., Hind, K., & Engelke, K. (2020). Associations of muscle size and density with proximal femur bone in a community dwelling older population. Frontiers in Endocrinology, 11, Article 503. https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2020.00503

Background and Purpose: Muscle weakness and bone fragility are both associated with hip fracture. In general, muscle contractions create forces to the bone, and bone strength adapts to mechanical loading through changes in bone architecture and mass....
