This review summarises current understanding of how bone is sculpted through adaptive
processes, designed to meet the mechanical challenges it faces in everyday life and athletic …

Background: Bone mass acquisition during growth is a major determinant of the risk of
developing osteoporosis later in life. Body composition is an anthropometric determinant of …

Purpose The traditional belief that obesity is protective against osteoporosis has been
questioned. Recent epidemiologic studies show that body fat itself may be a risk factor for …

ABSTRACT JUDEX, S., and KJ CARLSON. Is Bone's Response to Mechanical Signals
Dominated by Gravitational Loading? Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 41, No. 11, pp. 2037 …

While the association of lean mass (LM) with bone mass is well understood, the association
of fat mass (FM) with bone mass is controversial. Our results support that adolescents with …

Background: The influence of adiposity on upper-limb bone strength has rarely been studied
in children, despite the high incidence of forearm fractures in this population. Objective: The …

Purpose: The determinants of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and hip geometry 26
estimates in adolescent athletes are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the 27 …

Background Body mass compartments may have different directions of influence on bone
accrual. Studies of children are limited by relatively small sample sizes and typically make …

Purpose: Considering the different loading and training characteristics of the sports
practiced during growth, it is important to specify and categorize the bone and soft tissue …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of fat mass (FM) and lean mass
(LM) with bone mineral density (BMD) independent of genetic effects. We also assessed the …
