title: [Progression of study on the relationship between muscle strength, physical activity and bone mineral density].
abstract: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in fragility and susceptibility to fractures resulting in the severe health consequences to human health. Many investigations have been done in exploring the etiological factors so as to find out approaches for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Low bone mineral density is one of the important clinical characteristics of osteoporosis. In this paper, the progress of study on the relationship between muscle strength, physical activity and bone mineral density was reviewed.
