Purpose Previous studies have suggested that obesity defined by body mass index (BMI) is
a protective factor for bone mineral density (BMD), but have overlooked the potential …

Background The effect of obesity status on bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescents and
whether there is a saturation effect is still insufficient. A cross-sectional study of adolescents …

The negative effects of obesity and excess body fat on bone mineral density (BMD) have
been widely reported. As opposed to waist circumference (WC) or body mass index (BMI) …

Background Adolescence is a critical period for bone development, and peak bone mass
may be reached in late adolescence. Boosting bone accumulation at this time can help …

Objective Data on obesity in relation to bone mineral density (BMD) in infants and preschool
children were sparse in China. The objective of this study was to examine the associations …

Introduction The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) serves as an innovative obesity
measure, seemingly surpassing body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in …

Background Relationships between the severity of obesity and bone health remain
underexplored. Objectives To compare whole‐body and localized bone mineral content …

Background Body mass compartments may have different directions of influence on bone
accrual. Studies of children are limited by relatively small sample sizes and typically make …

METHODS We conducted a cross sectional study in pubertal adolescents and young adults
13-20 years old who were either overweight/obese or normal weight. Participants were …

Introduction According to reports, obesity has a significant impact on bone health. And the
weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), superior to BMI and waist circumference (WC), is a new …
