When leg muscle strength, SPBB score, thigh muscle CSA, and thigh muscle muscle HU value were entered simultaneously in the proportional hazards model (model 2), only thigh muscle HU value was significantly associated with incident hip fracture (RR/SD = 1.41; 95% CI 1.01–1.93), an association that remained marginally statistically significant after adjustment for total femur BMD.
