Effect of Exercise on Extraskeletal Risk Factors for Hip Fractures in Elderly Women With Low BMD: A Population‐Based Randomized Controlled Trial

We conducted a 30‐month population‐based, randomized, controlled trial in 160 elderly women at risk for fractures on the basis of a low baseline BMD. Mainly home‐based weight‐bearing exercise was effective in improving strength, balance, and gait.
