Exercise and Bone Density: Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Use the meta-analytic approach to examine the effects of exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) using individual patient data (IPD) and to compare these results with summary data from the same studies. Scope: The specific aim for this project period was to analyze IPD from existing training studies dealing with the effects of exercise on BMD at the femoral neck in postmenopausal women. Major finding: The major finding for this reporting period was that exercise did not improve BMD at the femoral neck in postmenopausal women.
