The study found that measures such as grip strength and muscle mass were related to bone density and height in pre-menopausal women. "We've also seen that the bone density of the radius, which is the bone at the base of your thumb, is very high compared to the average white European woman," Lee said in an article published in the American Journal of Human Biology.
"My work focuses on understanding how our activities shape our skeleton and what it means to the modern population," added Lee. Going forward, researchers said they were interested in understanding whether childhood environments helped shape women's bone health.
