TL;DR: Results concur that grip strength increases into the thirties and declines at an accelerating rate after age 40, but there remain other yet undetermined factors beyond declining muscle mass to explain some of the loss of strength seen with aging.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the higher fracture rate in elderly women is due, at least in part, to elevated levels of mechanical stress, resulting from a combination of greater bone loss and less compensatory geometric restructuring with age is lent support.

TL;DR: Pregnancy and menstruation are associated with postmenopausal bone density of the radius according to the number of births, duration of menstrual bleeding, age at menarche, and years menstruating, and length of the menstrual cycle, amount of menstrual flow, and irregularity of the menstruation were not significantly associated with radial bone mineral density.

TL;DR: The results of this study confirmed that the incidence of ALS declined steadily during the past 40 years, and showed a slight increase from 1980 to 1999.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that radiographic features of knee OA are significantly associated with knee pain and support the continued use of the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale for defining knee Oa in population studies.
