Bone turnover markers in the obese children – relation to gender, body composition and leptin level

Abstract: Introduction. Recently published data revealed that bone turnover is related to the body composition in pubertal children and may be impaired in obese adolescents. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between bone turnover markers, body composition and leptin level in obese children. Material and methods. In 54 obese adolescents (25 boys and 29 girls) in the mean age of 13.96 ±2.78 years bone turnover markers-osteocalcin (OC), N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx), OC/ NTx ratio and… Show more

“…Positive correlations between bone-specific ALP and anthropometric measures have been reported elsewhere [38] while others shown no effect of BMI on tALP values [44]. Our results did not support previously described positive correlations between OC and height and weight [10, 14], between CTX and weight [14] and height [13, 38] or the finding of decreased OC values in obese when compared to healthy weight children [11, 12]. However, in accordance to our findings, a number of other studies have contributed with evidence of a lack of association between height, weight or BMI and OC [9, 10, 13, 14, 39, 44] and height or BMI and β-CTx [44].…”

“…The most commonly used in both clinical and scientific practice are osteocalcin (OC), reflecting bone formation by osteoblasts an N-terminal telopeptides of collagen type 1 (NTx), reflecting bone resorption by osteoclasts. Usefulness of OC, NTx, and OC/NTx ratio in pediatric population was previously studied by our group [16].…”
