Objective : To assess the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and Physical performance in postmenopausal women. Results : Mean BMD of the lumbar spine was 1.04 ± 0.17 at the femoral neck 0.93 ± 0.11 and at the distal forearm 0.76 ± 0.10 g/cm² . Surprisingly BMD of the lumbar spine was positively correlated with STS [r=0.367, P=0.020] and negatively correlated with normal gait speed [r=-0.578,p=0.0001], brisk gait speed [r=-0.554, p=0.0001] and BSL [r=-0.416,p=0.008]
