“…Body weight is positively correlated to BMD in both genders and BMI is a strong negative determinant of fracture risk especially in women [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. In fact, being overweight is usually associated with higher BMD and hip bone strength indices in adolescents, young adults and post-menopausal women [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Hip fractures account for a large part of the burden of osteoporosis in terms of morbidity and mortality in men [2].…”

“…DXA measurements were completed for the whole body (WB), the total hip and the femoral neck. The coefficients of variation were < 1.5% for BMC and BMD [26][27][28]34]. The same certified technician performed all analyses using the same technique for all measurements.…”

“…Body composition (lean mass, fat mass, body fat percentage) was assessed by DXA (Hologic QDR-4500W; Waltham, MA). In our laboratory, the in vivo coefficients of variation were <1% for fat and lean mass [27,28].…”

This study suggests that in obese adolescent boys, intertrochanteric structural rigidity and femoral shaft structural rigidity and bending strength are not adapted to the increased body weight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
