This cross-sectional study was designed to investigate correlations between muscle strength and regional bone mineral density (BMD) in sedentary postmenopausal women. Sixty-two women who ranged in age from 41 to 76 years were investigated. Hip and trunk muscle strength was measured by isokinetic dyn...
