Graphical comparison of BMD in weight‐bearing bones against LBM (A) and FM (B) by subgroups. General trends in BMD of weight‐bearing bones are presented against (A) LBM and (B) FM by three subgroups: men, and premenopausal and postmenopausal women. For all three groups, BMD increased linearly as the increase of LBM. BMD also increased as the increase of FM for men and premenopausal women, whereas the beneficial role of FM was not evident for postmenopausal women.
