Lower-body lean mass

1. Lower-body lean mass is associated with hip bone mineral density in humans (β = 0.32-0.45, p < 0.001).

   “Leg-press strength and lower-body lean mass were lower with increasing age but were positively associated with hip BMD (β = 0.32-0.45, p < 0.001) independent of age, sex, and adiposity.”
