See reference #30

Methods

Relationship between Modified HLAQ (to collect past year) and four 1-wk activity logs (PAL); attenuated (r) and deattenuated (r_d) Pearson coefficients between each questionnaire and the average of up to four 1 wk PALs

BUA	-0.32	-0.73	0.72
p-value	0.73	0.52	0.48
SOS	0.34	0.74	1.00
p-value	0.42	0.14	0.02
Femoral Neck BMD	0.003	0.016	0.018
p-value	0.58	0.04	0.006
