[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST N4lTR0xR. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The relationships among lumbar and femoral bone mineral density (BMD) and different forms of testosterone - total, salivary testosterone and free testosterone index (FTI) calculated with the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) - body mass index (BMI) and body fat distribution (waist-to-hip ratio and breast-to-hip ratio) were analysed in a cross-sectional study with 66 Spanish premenopausal healthy women aged 42 years and with normal levels of serum testosterone. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Hologic QDR 1000), and salivary and blood samples were obtained during early follicular phase. In a multiple stepwise regression analysis, lumbar BMD was positively predicted by salivary testosterone and negatively by SHBG adjusted by BMI (R2=0.20 ; p
