Physical fitness components are bone mineral density predictors in adulthood: cross-sectional study.

Background: Health-related physical fitness (HRPF) attributes are considered important markers beneficial to various health outcomes. However, the literature is divergent regarding HRPF and bone health in adulthood, especially due to the end of the second and beginning of the third decades of life when the peak bone mass period occurs.

Objective: To analyze which HRPF variables are areal bone mineral density (aBMD) predictors in adult males and females.
