2A: Anthropometry, bone mineral density (BMD) and soft tissue composition soft in women and men. Data are shown as unadjusted means with 95% CI within brackets. Group comparison were made by ANCOVA adjusted for age1 or for age and body size (BMI)2. Statistically significant differences are highlighted in bold.
