Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. The relationship between hand-grip strength (HGS) and BMD values of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). 2. The association between 6-minute walking speed (6MWS) and BMD values of the LS and FN. 3. The correlation between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and BMD values. 4. Determination of cutoff values for HGS and 6MWS to predict osteopenia or osteoporosis in the LS and FN.	—
