Muscle strength and areal bone mineral density at the hip in women: a cross-sectional study

Table 2 Results of linear regression models showing the relationship between muscle strength and bone mineral density

Dependent variable	Hip flexors			Hip abductors
	β coefficient	se (β)	p value	β coefficient	se (β)	p value
Total hip BMD	0.104	0.040	0.009	0.228	0.102	0.025

Models are adjusted for age. Bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle strength are expressed in standard deviation units. Models were adjusted for AgeC and (AgeC)² where age was centred about the mean (57 years)
