The effect of menarcheal age on anthropometric, limb length, and bone measures in Hutterite and non-Hutterite women
The age women reach menarche may affect bone length and mass. Some studies show an earlier menarcheal age (MA) results in a shorter sta...
Muscle power is related to tibial bone strength in older women
We enrolled 65 to 75 year-old community-dwelling women and measured muscle power, strength, physical activity using accelerometry and t...
Improved peripheral cortical bone geometry after surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism in postmenopausal women
