We conclude that, independent of sex, historical bone-relevant physical activity is associated with pQCT-derived indices of bone strength, indicating that pBPAQ captures the characteristics of bone loading history that are likely to be relevant adaptive stimuli. A larger sample is required to examine the influence of age on this relationship.
