Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition in Elderly

Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in healthy older adults at different skeletal sites. Methods:We analyzed 87 medical records and BMD along with the body composition of men ranging from 60 to 87 years of age (mean: 68.5, standard deviation: 6.5). Inclusion criteria were normal BMD values (T-score greater than or equal to -1.0) and body mass index within normal or overweight range (18.5 to 29.5 kg/m2). Body composition was evaluated using bone densitom… Show more

“…With regard to body composition, we observed an increase in the fat percentage, which is in line with the findings reported by Alonso et al, 14 who affirmed that body composition changes significantly in elderly individuals, including the increase and redistribution of adipose tissue. This distribution increases progressively within the abdominal cavity and is less pronounced in the limbs.…”

“…[5,6] These miscellaneous findings suggested that BMI as single parameter for obesity assessment may not be a suitable method to explain comprehensively the relationship between obesity and BMD. [8][9][10] The distribution of fat and muscle mass are also essential factors for BMD and in our study showed that appendicular skeletal muscle and central obesity may have more significant role. In a previous studies, low skeletal muscle mass associated with low neck femoral BMD in older adults.…”

“…The distribution of fat and muscle mass are also considered as essential factors for BMD. [8][9][10] In fact, there is a third of older adults population has a normal BMI or total fat mass percentage but also has central obesity which is called by normal-weight central obesity. [11] Furthermore, building evidence showed that central obesity which produces inflammatory cytokine might have deterious effects on muscle and bone metabolism.…”

“…In female, we found that rs11674595 and rs2072472 were associated with a higher occurrence of osteoporosis, while rs4851527 and rs3218977 were with a lower osteoporosis risk. Some authors have proposed that high BMI is a protective factor for osteoporosis [31,32]. The result of strati cation analysis by BMI displayed that rs11674595 and rs4851527 were related to the reduced occurrence of osteoporosis among the subjects with BMI > 24 kg/m 2 , while rs11674595 conferred to the increased risk of osteoporosis at BMI ≤ 24 kg/m 2 .…”
