Obesity is traditionally viewed to be beneficial to bone health because of well-established
positive effect of mechanical loading conferred by body weight on bone formation, despite …

Leptin was initially best known for its role in energy homeostasis and regulation of energy
expenditure. In the past few years we have realized that leptin also plays a major role in …

Excess body weight due to obesity has traditionally been considered to have a positive
effect on bone; however, more recent findings suggest that bone quality is compromised …

Accumulating evidence supports a complex relationship between adiposity and
osteoporosis in overweight/obese individuals, with local interactions and endocrine …

Osteoporosis and obesity are both major public health concerns. It has long been
considered that these are distinct disorders rarely found in the same individual; however …

Body mass has a positive effect on bone health. Whether mass derived from an obesity
condition or excessive fat accumulation is beneficial to bone has not been established; …

Bone mass and strength are known to be highly correlated with body weight, and it is often
noted that lean (muscle) mass shows a particularly strong association with estimates of bone …
