Poor muscle quality and sedentary behavior are risk factors for metabolic dysfunction in
children and adolescents. However, because longitudinal data are scarce, relatively little is …

This report aims to analyse the independent association of lean mass and muscle fitness
with bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD), and to examine whether …

Aim This study investigated the associations between fitness indices and bone outcomes in
young males. Methods Data were collected between autumn and winter 2014–2015 on 121 …

Context: It is unclear whether variation in insulin resistance mediates the positive
association of fat mass with bone mass in children/adolescents. Objective: Our objective was …

In this population-based study, the relationship between childhood weight and height, and
adolescent bone mass and muscle strength have been studied in 39 girls and 48 boys. Total …

Despite adolescent black females experiencing the highest rates of obesity, the effect of
excess fat mass on bone structure and strength in this population is unknown. Our findings …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of excess body fat on bone
mass in overweight, obese, and extremely obese adolescents. Methods This study included …

Changes and gender differences in the muscle bone unit at different skeletal sites were
investigated during pubertal development. Females accrued greater BMC in relation to …

Background Overweight youth have greater bone mass than their healthy-weight peers but
sustain more fractures. However, it is unclear whether and how excess body fat influences …

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 …
