Long-term survival rates after a diagnosis of breast cancer are steadily rising. This is good
news, but clinicians must also recognize that this brings new challenges to the medical …

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 …

Context: Body weight is the most important anthropometric determinant of bone mineral
density (BMD). Body weight is mainly made up of lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM), and …

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between reduced muscle mass
(sarcopenia) and areal bone mineral density (BMD a) in middle-aged and elderly community …

Body weight impacts on both bone turnover and bone density, and is therefore an important
risk factor for vertebral and hip fractures, ranking in importance alongside that of age. The …

Background: Higher fat mass may be an independent risk factor for osteoporosis and
osteoporotic fractures. Objective: We aimed to determine the independent contribution of fat …

Body weight is a principal determinant of bone density and fracture risk, and adipose tissue
mass is a major contributor to this relationship. In contrast, some recent studies have argued …

It was previously believed that obesity and osteoporosis were two unrelated diseases, but
recent studies have shown that both diseases share several common genetic and …

Body weight impacts both bone turnover and bone density, making it, therefore, an important
risk factor for vertebral and hip fractures and ranking it alongside age in importance. The …

Fat mass is an important determinant of bone density, but the mechanism of this relationship
is uncertain. Leptin, as a circulating peptide of adipocyte origin, is a potential contributor to …
