Exercise training promotes physical and bone health, and is the first choice of non-drug
strategies that help to improve the prognosis and complications of many chronic diseases …

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 …

Obesity is associated with higher areal bone density (aBMD) but its protective effect on the
risk of fracture is controversial. We aimed to analyze bone microarchitecture and …

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 …

A complex interplay of genetic, environmental, hormonal, and behavioral factors affect
skeletal development, several of which are associated with childhood fractures. Given the …

Abstract In 2007, International Society of Clinical Densitometry Pediatric Positions Task
Forces reviewed the evidence for the clinical application of peripheral quantitative computed …

Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is an essential tool for assessing
bone parameters of the limbs, but subject movement and its impact on image quality …

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 …

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 …
