Total fat mass plays a significant role in determining bone mass, but the specific role of
central adiposity independent of total fat mass has not been widely studied. Prepubertal …

Background: Whereas excess adiposity is presumed to be advantageous for the skeleton,
studies investigating relations between bone strength and fat during youth have been …

Abstract Background/Aims: The link between abdominal fat and bone mineral content
(BMC), independent of weight, has not been extensively studied. In Latino children, the …

This study evaluated the longitudinal relationships among visceral adipose tissue (VAT),
subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and peripheral bone strength during adolescence. Fat …

Childhood and puberty are important period for the skeleton grows. Fat mass, especially
visceral adipose tissue, was negatively correlated with areal bone mineral density in …

Childhood studies of the fat‐bone relationship are conflicting, possibly reflecting the
influence of metabolic abnormalities in some but not all obese children. Bone mass was …

Childhood obesity is an established risk factor for metabolic disease. The influence of
obesity on bone development, however, remains controversial and may depend on the …

Recent studies have shown that obesity is associated with an increased risk of fracture in
both adults and children. It has been suggested that, despite greater bone size, obese …

Longitudinal relationships between adiposity (total body and central) and bone development
were assessed in young girls. Total body and android fat masses were positively associated …

Objective In adults, obesity has been associated with several health outcomes including
increased bone density. Our objective was to evaluate the association between percent …
