The Claim
In untrained adults, dual-arm and dual-leg bone mineral content are strongly correlated with corresponding limb lean tissue mass, with correlation coefficients of r = 0.90 and r = 0.86 respectively, suggesting a close structural and developmental relationship between bone and muscle in the appendicular skeleton.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In people who don't work out much, the amount of muscle in their arms and legs is closely linked to the strength of their bones in those same limbs — more muscle usually means stronger bones.

Dual-arm and dual-leg bone mineral content are strongly correlated with corresponding limb lean tissue mass (r = 0.90 and r = 0.86, respectively) in untrained adults, indicating a close structural and developmental relationship between bone and muscle in the appendicular skeleton.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that people with more muscle in their arms and legs also tend to have denser bones in those areas, which matches what the claim says.
