    J Bone Miner Res 25:1487-95. 2010
    ..In conclusion, this study did not produce statistically significant evidence that vitamin D and calcium supplementation prevents fractures in a 65- to 71-year-old general population of postmenopausal women...
  2. ncbi Physical activity slows femoral bone loss but promotes wrist fractures in postmenopausal women: a 15-year follow-up of the OSTPRE study
    Toni Rikkonen
    Bone and Cartilage Research Unit, University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland
    J Bone Miner Res 25:2332-40. 2010
    ..Regular PA of at least 1½ hours per week does not seem to increase the risk of other fractures and might significantly decrease proximal femur bone loss among peri- and postmenopausal women...
  3. ncbi Muscle strength and body composition are clinical indicators of osteoporosis
    Toni Rikkonen
    Bone and Cartilage Research Unit, MediTeknia Building, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland
    Calcif Tissue Int 91:131-8. 2012
    ..In addition, lean mass contributes to OP in this age group. Muscle strength and lean mass should be considered separately since both are independently associated with postmenopausal BMD...
