Sex-based Differences in the Association between Body Composition and Incident Fracture Risk in Koreans

Abstract The relative contribution of lean mass and fat mass on bone health is inconclusive. We investigated the relative contributions of lean and fat masses on fragility fracture risk in Korean men and women. This was an ongoing prospective community-dwelling cohort study at Ansung beginning in 20...
