Current studies • Cross-validation and reproducibility of two pQCT machines • Quantifying muscle mass, muscle fat content • Determining optimal site to detect early OA changes in subchondral bone of human femoro-patellar joint, relate to bone and muscle parameters and interventions • Animal studies of differences in tissue composition and bone changes after brief, moderate early-life exercise.
