Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To compare muscle and bone health markers in adult males (aged 20-59 yrs) with and without muscular dystrophy (MD). METHODS: ) was measured using B-mode ultrasound. Grip strength was measured in all but DMD. RESULTS: (r=0.46, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Muscle size, strength, and bone health was lower in adult males with MD compared to adult males without MD, the extent of this is partially determined by physical activity.
