Recent scientific evidence has shown an increased risk of fractures in patients with obesity,
especially in those with a higher visceral adipose tissue content. This contradicts the old …

So far, the connections between obesity and skeleton have been extensively explored, but
the results are inconsistent. Obesity is thought to affect bone health through a variety of …

Obesity represents a risk factor for development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In
addition, it has been associated with increased adipocyte formation in the bone marrow …

Context: There is growing interest in the relationship between bone mineral density, bone
strength, and fat depots. Marrow adipose tissue, a well-established component of the …

Obesity is associated with greater areal BMD (aBMD) and is considered protective against
hip and vertebral fracture. Despite this, there is a higher prevalence of lower leg and …

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2 DM) is a rapidly growing public health problem. It is associated
with an increased risk of fracture, particularly of the hip, despite normal or high bone mineral …

Substantial evidence shows that skeletal fragility should be considered among the
complications associated with type 2 diabetes. Individuals with type 2 diabetes have …

Recent evidence demonstrating an increased fracture risk among obese individuals
suggests that adipose tissue may negatively impact bone health, challenging the traditional …

Low body mass index (BMI) is a well‐established risk factor for fracture in postmenopausal
women. Height and obesity have also been associated with increased fracture risk at some …

Background Although several cross‐sectional studies have investigated serum vitamin D
levels in relation to body mass index (BMI), findings are inconsistent. Objective This …
