## Abstract This crossβsectional populationβbased study examined the association of anthropometric and lifestyle risk factors with bone mineral density (BMD) in 218 white ambulatory men aged 50β64 from the Rancho Bernardo, California cohort. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and hip using dualβe
The purpose of this study was to examine the correlations between the muscle torque of the leg extensors (quadriceps femoris) and leg flexors (hamstrings) and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur and lumbar spine. To investigate the decline in BMD of proximal femur and lumbar spine,
