| Popis: | Understanding the modifiable factors that improve and maximize peak bone mass at an early age is necessary to design more effective intervention programs to prevent osteoporosis. To identify these modifiable factors, we analyzed the relationship of physical activity (PA), physical fitness, body composition, and dietary intake with bone stiffness index (SI), measured by quantitative ultrasonometry in young university students (18-21 years). Moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) was the strongest predictor of SI ( = 0.184; p = 0.035). SI was most closely related with very vigorous PA in males ( = 0.288; p = 0.040) and with the number of steps/day in females ( = 0.319; p = 0.002). An association between thigh muscle and SI was consistent in both sexes ( = 0.328; p < 0.001). Additionally, extension maximal force was a bone SI predictor factor in females ( = 0.263; p = 0.016) independent of thigh muscle perimeter. Calcium intake was the only nutrition parameter that had a positive relationship with SI (R = 0.217; p = 0.022). However, it was not included as a predictor for SI in our regression models. This study identifies predictors of bone status in each sex and indicates that muscle and bone interrelate with PA and fitness in young adults. The authors sincerely thank the volunteers for participating in this study. This study was supported by a Project from the Basque Country University (UPV/EHU). |
