Childhood obesity is an established risk factor for metabolic disease. The influence of
obesity on bone development, however, remains controversial and may depend on the …

Half of osteoporotic fractures occur in patients with normal/osteopenic bone density or at
intermediate or low estimated risk. Muscle measures have been shown to contribute to …

Background Lower skeletal muscle density, indicating greater infiltration of adipose tissue
into muscles, is associated with higher fracture risk in older adults. We aimed to determine …

Rationale & Objective The difference in the estimated glomerular filtration rate based on
cystatin C and that based on creatinine (eGFRDiff) is known to be associated with frailty and …

Abdominal obesity might increase fracture risk. We studied the prospective associations
between waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and hip fracture. The indicators of …

Objectives To assess CT-attenuation of abdominal adipose tissue and psoas muscle as
predictors of mortality in patients with sarcomas of the extremities. Methods Our study was …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to identify independent
associations between body composition and bone outcomes, including cortical structure and …

Background The longitudinal relationship between intramuscular adipose tissue of the
quadriceps and activities of daily living (ADL) in older inpatients remains unclear. This study …

ABSTRACT In the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), we investigated associations between
baseline dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) appendicular lean mass (ALM) and risk …

Purpose To evaluate determinants of hip fracture by assessing soft-tissue composition of the
upper thigh at CT. Materials and Methods In this retrospective analysis of prospectively …
