Background Studies in childhood suggest that both body composition and early postnatal
growth are associated with bone mineral density (BMD). However, little is known of the …

Investigation of the physiologic relevance of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) during
growth may promote understanding of the bone-fat axis and confluence with metabolic …

Excess adiposity in childhood may affect bone development, ultimately leading to bone
frailty. Previous reports showing an increased rate of extremity fractures in children with …

Childhood obesity is associated with compromised bone health. We studied bone
characteristics and their determinants in obese young adults. The study included 68 subjects …

The prevalence of obesity in children has reached epidemic proportions. Concern about
bone health in obese children, in part, derives from the potentially increased fracture risk …

Body weight and lean mass correlate with bone mass, but the relationship between fat mass
and bone remains elusive. The study population consisted of 396 girls and 138 …

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 …

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 …

Purpose To assess association between lower body muscle power and bone strength, as
well as the mediating effect of muscle cross-sectional area (MCSA) on that association …

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; …
