The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of fat mass (FM) and lean mass
(LM) with bone mineral density (BMD) independent of genetic effects. We also assessed the …

Normative values for total body bone mineral content (TBBM) and total body bone mineral
density (TBMD) were derived from measurements on 234 children 8–16 years of age. In …

Background Fat mass is variably associated with bone mass, possibly due to differential
mechanical and biological effects of fat mass. We examined the association of fat mass with …

Childhood obesity has become a worldwide health problem. Recent studies have suggested
that obese and overweight children have lower bone mass. We used dual-energy X-ray …

There are conflicting reports on the influence of lean and fat mass on bone accrual during
childhood. No infant's studies have been reported that describe the influence of changes in …

Total body mass is a major determinant of bone mass, but studies of the relative
contributions of lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) to bone mass have yielded conflicting …

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

The long‐term effects of childhood exercise and body mass index (BMI) on bone mass
remain uncertain. We measured 1434 children, 7–15 yr of age, as part of the Australian …

Background Studies of the effect of childhood obesity on bone accrual during growth have
yielded conflicting results, largely related to the failure to adequately characterize the …

Obesity and osteoporosis remain two major public health concerns. Soft tissue composition
and bone are interrelated; however, it is still not well understood how changes in adiposity …
