“…The result of T-score in the present study show a lower mean value in the patients than that in the control. These results are in line with those of a previous study [35].as well as with other works [12,36] which reported a significantly higher T-score in healthy women compared with osteoporotic women. This indicates bone loss with age and menopause.…”

“…e ndings of this study are similar to that of the previous studies. [12][13][14][15][16]20 It was additionally seen that nobody had a b a c normal BMD value at lumbar spine in underweight group. en again, in the overweight group 44.4%, 83.3% patients had normal BMD value at lumbar spine and both femoral neck respectively which showed statistically signi cant di erences (P<0.001).…”

“…Petroudia SR et al (2016). (1,8,(28)(29)(30) Even though there are studies which have revealed that obesity has a negative influence on BMD, majority of the studies show both body weight and BMI have a positive impact on bone mass. This has been explained by whether obesity is defined in terms of body weight and BMI or on the basis of amount of total body fat expressed as percentage of body weight.…”
