The relationship between physical performance measures bone mineral density falls and the risk of peripheral fracture: a cross-sectional analysis

摘要

BackgroundSeveral factors, in addition to low bone mineral density (BMD), have been identified as risks for fractures, including reduced levels of physical activity, poor balance and low physical performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between physical performance measures, BMD, falls, and the risk of peripheral fracture in a population sample of Moroccan women.
