Whether greater leisure time physical activity (LTPA) is associated with less bone mineral density (BMD) loss during the menopause transition (MT) remains an open question. We hypothesized that: 1) larger...
Conclusion: Our first hypothesis, that increasing LTPA during midlife (from premenopause/early perimenopause to late perimenopause/postmenopause), would be associated with slower BMD loss in the late peri- and postmenopause, was supported by the results. The second hypothesis was also upheld: greater entire-study average levels of LTPA score...
