The bone mineral content (BMC) of the body has been shown to be influenced by both lean tissue mass (LTM) and fat mass (FM) in adults and children. However, fewer data are available for elderly people. In this study, we tested whether LTM and FM are associated with BMC in a large sample of elderly and young women.

Abstract
The bone mineral content (BMC) of the body has been shown to be influenced by both lean tissue mass (LTM) and fat mass (FM) in adults and children. However, fewer data are available for elderly people. In this study, we tested whether LTM and FM are associated with BMC in a large sample of elderly and young women.
