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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Purpose and methods. Body weight is the most extensively studied correlate of bone mass
and is widely used as a covariate in statistical evaluations of bone mineral parameters. Lean …

Introduction: The correct interpretation of DXA data is critical to the diagnosis and
management of children with suspected bone disease. This study examines the various …

Purpose We evaluated anthropometric and performance measures that best predict bone
mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in 54 adolescent girls (14.6+/-0.5 yr; …

Context: Although muscle mass is beneficial to bone, studies on the effect of fat mass on
bone have yielded conflicting results. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the …

Background To compare the relationship of skeletal muscle mass with bone mineral content
in an ethnically diverse group of 6 to 18 year old boys and girls. Methods 175 healthy …

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 …
