Influence of the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index on the bone mineral density of postmenopausal women

Influence of the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index on the bone mineral density of postmenopausal women

Abstract Background The appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) is an important risk indicator for osteoporosis because of the anatomical proximity and metabolic connection between muscle and bone mass. The present study investigated the relationship between ASMI and the bone mineral density...
