Background: Bone mass acquisition during growth is a major determinant of the risk of
developing osteoporosis later in life. Body composition is an anthropometric determinant of …

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 …

Objective This study examines the differences in bone mineral density between normal‐
weight children and children with overweight or obesity. Methods A systematic review and …

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 …

Background The relationships of total and regional body fat percent with bone mineral
density (BMD) in Korean adolescents were examined using the Fifth Korea National Health …

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 …

Although obesity is considered osteoprotective, the effects of body fat and fat distribution on
bone tissue after adjusting for the effects of body weight remain uncertain. This study …

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 …

Epidemiologic studies have found that higher body weight is associated with better bone
health. Body weight consists of both fat mass (FM) and lean soft tissue mass (LSTM) …

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 …
