Abstrakt: Context: High fracture risk in individuals with low muscle strength is attributed to high risk of falls.Objective: This work aims to study the association of muscle mass and physical performance with bone microarchitecture decline and risk of fall and nonvertebral fracture in men.Methods: A prospective, 8-year follow-up of a cohort was conducted among the general population. A total of 821 volunteer men aged 60 and older participated. Hip areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and appendicular lean mass (ALM) were assessed at baseline by dual x-ray absorptiometry. Lower-limb relative ALM (RALM-LL) is ALM-LL/(leg length)2. The physical performance score reflects the ability to perform chair stands and static and dynamic balance. Bone microarchitecture was assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at baseline and after 4 and 8 years. Statistical analyses were adjusted for shared risk factors. Outcome measurements included the rate of change in the HR-pQCT indices, incident falls, and fractures.Results: Cortical bone loss and estimated bone strength decline were faster in men with low vs normal RALM-LL (failure load: -0.74 ± 0.09 vs -0.43 ± 0.10%/year; P < .005). Differences were similar between men with poor and those with normal physical performance (failure load: -1.12 ± 0.09 vs -0.40 ± 0.05%/year; P < .001). Differences were similar between men having poor performance and low RALM-LL and men having normal RALM-LL and performance (failure load: -1.40 ± 0.17 vs -0.47 ± 0.03%/year; P < .001). Men with poor physical performance had a higher risk of fall (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.52; 95% CI, 1.57-7.90, P < .05) and fracture (HR = 2.68; 95% CI, 1.08-6.66, P < .05).Conclusion: Rapid decline of bone microarchitecture and estimated strength in men with poor physical performance and low RALM-LL may contribute to higher fracture risk.
