Factors associated with bone mineral density in adults: a cross-sectional population-based study

Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip bone mineral density (biophysical bone health assessment parameter), and sociodemographic, anthropometric, behavioral, and health condition factors in Brazilian adults. Method: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study performed with individuals of both genders, aged between 20 and 59 (n=701). The dependent variables were evaluated by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. The independent variables were e… Show more

“…We observed a positive correlation between BMI and BMD at all sites ( P = 0.004, P = 0.003, P = 0.003, respectively). The same result was obtained with the study of Irene Zolfaroli et al This result can be explained by the fact that an increased BMI leads to an increased mechanical load on the body, stimulating bone formation [ 26 ]. In addition, certain metabolic substances are involved in the process of bone metabolism.…”

“…Excess body weight can cause metabolic changes in the form of insulin resistance and excessive production of androgen and estrogen hormones thereby reducing osteoblast action. Besides that, overproduction of adipokines or leptin levels due to high fat consumption may contribute to gained calcium absorption [35]. However, excessive subcutaneous fat and visceral fat can increase systemic inflammation which can trigger bone loss, besides that it is associated with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF and IL-6 which can promote bone resorption and increase the risk of osteoporosis [26].…”

“…The prevalence of wrist fractures was higher in men than in women when the first wrist fracture occurred before the age of 60, which was supported by previous epidemiological studies of wrist fractures in which young men were more likely to have wrist fractures than young women ( 34 , 35 ). However, as women age, especially after menopause, they tend to lose more bone mass than men, which makes them more likely to suffer from wrist fractures ( 36 , 37 ).…”
