Despite being a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus, obesity has
been thought to protect against osteoporosis. However, recent studies have demonstrated a …

Osteoporosis and obesity are important public health problems in an aging society. We
investigated the differential impacts of fat on bone mineral density (BMD) according to …

Recent studies have demonstrated an important physiologic link between bone and fat.
Bone and fat cells arise from the same mesenchymal precursor cell within bone marrow …

Abstract Context Obese (OB) adults (BMI≥ 30) have a higher bone mineral density (BMD)
and more favourable bone microarchitecture than normal-weight (NW) adults (BMI 18.5 …

The goal in this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index and
trabecular and cortical bone using quantitative computed tomography. A higher body mass …

Abstract Introduction Obesity and type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are both associated with greater
bone mineral density (BMD) but increased risk of fractures. The effect of the combination of …

Background We investigated whether there were gender differences in the effect of obesity
on bone mineral density (BMD) based on menopausal status. Methods We assessed 5,892 …

Context: The conventional view that obesity is beneficial for bone strength has recently been
challenged by studies that link obesity, particularly visceral obesity, to low bone mass and …

Bone marrow harbors a significant amount of body adipose tissue (BMAT). While BMAT
might be a source of energy for bone modeling and remodeling, its increment can also …

Objectives: Elevated bone mineral density (BMD) in obese women is partially attributable to
the higher circulating estrogen levels derived from extraglandular aromatization in adipose …
