Osteoporosis, a musculoskeletal disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density
(BMD) and an increased risk of fragility fractures, is now recognized as an important public …

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 …

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 …

Background There is a possibility that excess body fat affects bone mass gain and may
compromise skeletal health in obese children. The purpose of the study was to identify the …

The article reviews the biomechanical factors that may cause overweight/obese children to
reduce their level of physical activity, while increasing their risk of overuse injuries and …

Before the characterization of human and animal models of estrogen deficiency, estrogen
action was confined in the context of the female bone. These interesting models uncovered …

The whole bone geometry, microstructure, and mechanical properties of mature human
bone are widely reported; however, immature bone (0–18 years) has not been similarly …

Background This study aimed to evaluate the association of body composition components
and obesity with bone density. Methods Prospective study with data on 2968 members of the …

Context: Bone mass is low and fracture risk is higher in obese children. Hormonal changes
in relation to skeletal microstructure and biomechanics have not been studied in obese …

The practice of physical activity during adolescence is essential for the proper development
of the population. In recent decades, the relevance of physical activity has been increasing …
