Abstract
Bone mineral content, measured by photon absorption densitometry, decreased significantly with age in women but not in men. Isometric muscle strength decreased more rapidly with age in in men than in women. No significant correlation was found between age-related loss of bone mineral and age-related change in muscle strength. It is concluded that, in contrast to inactivity with which bone loss and loss of muscle strength are related, no such a relationship exists for advancing age. Verf.-Referat
