Muscle power and force are predictors of bone microarchitecture and strength in healthy children and adolescents measured by high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography and jumping mechanography

Puberty is a time for the development of sexual dimorphism in bone and muscle. The aim of this study was to compare sex differences in bone and muscle variables using high-resolution peripheral QCT (HR-pQCT) and jumping mechanography (JM) in children and adolescents. We hypothesised that sex differences to muscle force and power (Fmax and Pmax) may explain differences in bone strength.Total cross-sectional area and density (Tt.CSA and D100), cortical bon...

Cystic fibrosis(CF) results in low volumetric bone mineral density(vBMD), poor muscle strength and increased fracture risk in young patients. The aim of this study was to compare bone and muscle variables measured by peripheral and high-resolution QCT (pQCT and HR-pQCT) and jumping mechanography (JM) In CF children and healthy controls. We hypothesised that CF children have lower muscle force and power (Fmax and Pmax) than controls which may contribute to CF-related bone disea...
