**Abstract.** Landin‐Wilhelmsen K, Johansson S, Rosengren A, Dotevall A, Lappas G, Bengtsson B‐A, Wilhelmsen L (Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg University, Göteborg, Sweden). Calcaneal ultrasound measurements are determined by age and physical activity. Studies in two Swedish random population samples. __J Intern Med__ 2000; **247**: 269–278. **Aim.** To present reference values and correlations with body composition, blood variables and lifestyle factors. **Subjects.** Two random population samples from Göteborg, Sweden, one comprising 184 men and 455 women aged 25–64 years (MONICA) and the other 860 women aged 55–82 years (BEDA) were studied. **Methods.** Calcaneal ultrasound measurement (LUNAR Achilles) and bioimpedance were measured. Smoking habits, coffee consumption, physical activity, psychological stress, education and marital status, as well as blood lipids, blood pressure, and fractures were studied. **Results.** Broadband ultrasound attenuation and stiffness were higher in men than in women (__P__ < 0.001), but speed of sound did not differ between sexes. Speed of sound, broadband ultrasound attenuation and stiffness decreased with age (__P__ < 0.001). In both
