Relationship of sarcopenia and body composition with osteoporosis
TL;DR: High lean mass and muscle strength were positively associated with BMDs and sarcopenia is associated with low BMD and osteoporosis.

TL;DR: The first genome-wide association study of hip BS interrogating ∼380,000 SNPs on the Affymetrix platform in 1,000 homogeneous unrelated Caucasian subjects suggests that PLCL1 is a novel gene associated with variation in hip BS, and provides new insights into the pathogenesis of HF.
