Greater bone strength in males versus females, and blacks versus nonblacks was evident after adjusting for muscle area, but patterns varied by puberty stage.

Muscle cross-sectional area, muscle strength, body weight, and physical activity were independently and significantly associated with cortical bone outcomes, adjusting for age, tibia length, puberty stage, sex, and African ancestry. Differences between black and nonblack groups in cortical bone strength were independent of differences in maturational timing, muscle area, and strength

J Bone Miner Res pQCT was used to assess subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and muscle density, an index of skeletal muscle fat content of the femur and tibia. SAT was positively correlated and muscle density was negatively correlated with total body fat mass. Muscle density was associated with indices of bone strength at metaphyseal and diaphyseal regions of the femur and tibia.

Fracture cases had lower total vBMD but not trabecular vBMD or bone area at the 4% radius site, and lower cortical vBMD, cortical area, and strength strain index at the 20% radius site. Similar patterns were observed for DXA outcomes of the radius, spine, and hip
