The mean isometric strength of the stronger quadriceps muscles of 12 healthy men in their seventies was 39% less than that of 12 healthy men in their twenties (P less than 0.001). The cross-sectional area of the quadriceps was measured at mid-thigh, by ultrasound scanning; the older men's stronger quadriceps were 25% smaller (P less than 0.001). The ratio of the stronger quadriceps' strength to its cross-sectional area was very similar in the old men to values obtained previously for both old and young women, but averaged 19% less than in the young men (P less than 0.02). Quadriceps size and strength were correlated in the old men (r = 0.77, P = 0.03) but not in the young men (r = 0.15). The principal axis of the relationship between quadriceps size and strength in the old men was very similar to those previously reported for both old and young women. The quadriceps strength of some young men is greater than would be expected from the size of the muscle.
