Proximal femur strength

1. Bone mineral density is associated with proximal femur strength in humans (r2 = 0.78-0.92, p < .0001).

   “the strength of the proximal femur was very strongly correlated with femoral BMD and heel BMD (r2 = 0.78-0.92, p < .0001 for all).”

1. Speed of sound is associated with proximal femur strength in humans (r2 = 0.67, p < 0.0001).

   “BUA and SOS of the heel were also strongly correlated to femoral strength (r2 = 0.70 and 0.67, respectively, p < 0.0001 for both)”

1. Broadband ultrasound attenuation is associated with proximal femur strength in humans (r2 = 0.70, p < 0.0001).
