Is there a definition of low lean mass that captures the associated low bone mineral density? A cross-sectional study of 80 men with hip fracture.

The association between low aLM and low BMD in men with hip fracture dramatically depends on the adopted definition of low aLM. FNIH threshold for aLM (< 19.75 kg) emerges as a useful tool to capture men with damage to both the components of the muscle-bone unit.
