Lean body mass (LM) has been positively associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in
children and adolescents, but the relationship between body fat mass (FM) and BMD …

Objectives: There has been uncertainty in the adult body composition literature about
whether fat mass (FM) or fat free mass is a better predictor of bone mineral content and bone …

The main aims of this study were, to evaluate what effect a change in fat mass (FM) and lean
body mass (LBM) has on bone parameters over 2 years' time, in 7-year-old school children …

Background: Body weight is made up of lean and fat mass and both are involved in growth
and development. Impression of these two components in bone density accrual has been …

The aim of this study was to determine the relative importance of lean mass (LM) and fat
mass (FM) on bone mineral density (BMD) in a group of adolescent girls and boys. A total of …

Abstract Background/Aims: Childhood and adolescence are critical periods for bone growth.
The independent association between lean and fat mass and indicators of bone health in …

Background There is a possibility that excess body fat affects bone mass gain and may
compromise skeletal health in obese children. The purpose of the study was to identify the …

More clarification on the associations between children's and adolescents' lean and fat mass
(LM and FM) on the one hand and their bone health on the other hand is needed, given the …

Body composition and sport participation have been associated with bone mass. The
purpose of this study was to determine the associations of lean and fat mass measures with …

Despite the epidemic of overweight adolescents, the effect of being overweight on bone
mineral density (BMD) during this period is poorly understood. However, recent studies have …
