Femoral neck cross-sectional area

1. Sedentary behavior decreases femoral neck cross-sectional area in humans (ß = -0.017, 95 % CI [-0.033, -0.002]).

   “An inverse association was found between sedentary time and changes in CSA in women, but not in men.”

1. Femoral neck cross-sectional area is associated with femoral neck fracture in humans (decreased cross-sectional area, adjusted for BMD) (HR 1.88 (95% CI: 1.03-3.44)).

   “In males, the HRs related to the decrease in CT and cross-sectional area (CSA) increased by 3.21-folds (95% CI: 2.32-4.45) and 1.88-folds (95% CI: 1.03-3.44), respectively”
