“…Similarly, a Chinese study failed to identify a discernible correlation between VAT and BMD 16 . However, an independent, positive connection between VAT and BMD was found by the Amirkola Health and Aging Study 27 . Our study, involving adults at a younger age compared to prior investigations, revealed a non-linear (U-shaped) relationship between VMI and lumbar BMD.…”

The relationship between the accumulation of fat in visceral or subcutaneous tissue and bone mineral density (BMD) remains unclear. Our primary objective in this study was to illuminate this relationship by conducting an investigation on a vast scale, encompassing a nationally representative population in the United States. A weighted multiple linear regression model was established to evaluate the relationship between visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and BMD. Additionally, the exploration of the potential nonlinear relationship was conducted employing the methodology of smooth curve fitting. In order to determine potential inflection points, a two-stage linear regression model was utilized. A total of 10,455 participants between the ages of 20 and 59 were included in this study. Various weighted multiple linear regression models revealed a negative correlation between lumbar BMD and visceral mass index (VMI) and subcutaneous mass index (SMI). However, the association between VMI and lumbar BMD displayed a U-shaped pattern upon employing the smooth curve fitting, and the inflection point of 0.304 kg/m2was determined using a two-stage linear regression model. Our findings indicated a negative association between subcutaneous fat and BMD. A U-shaped relationship was observed between visceral fat and BMD.

Objective: The relationship between fat accumulation in visceral or subcutaneous tissue and bone mineral density (BMD) remains unclear. In this study, we aim to shed light on this relationship by examining a large, nationally representative population. Methods: A weighted multiple linear regression model was established to evaluate the relationship between visceral fat, subcutaneous fat and BMD. Additionally, the potential nonlinear relationship was explored using smooth curve fitting method. Results: A total of 10455 participants between the ages of 20 and 59 were included in this study. Various weighted multiple linear regression models revealed a negative correlation between lumbar BMD T-score and visceral mass index (VMI) and subcutaneous mass index (SMI). However, the association between VMI and lumbar BMD T-score was U-shaped when we did smooth curve fitting, and the inflection point of 0.304kg/m² was determined using a two-stage linear regression model. Conclusions: Subcutaneous fat and BMD T-score were found to have a negative association, and visceral fat and BMD T-score were discovered to have a U-shaped connection. It is the significance of taking body composition and weight control into account while treating and preventing osteoporosis.

“…Measurements of WC and HC were measured with a non-stretchable tape measure, with the scale in centimetres, and were performed twice. If the difference was less than 1 cm, the mean of the two measures was recorded and if the difference was more than 1 cm, both measurements were repeated [30,31].…”

The aging process induces alterations in the body, resulting in changes in both health-related fitness and specific anthropometric measures. These changes often pose health risks for older adults. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is an association between anthropometric indices and muscular, motor, and cardiorespiratory components of health-related fitness in active European older adults. This study included 2687 European older adults, comprising 1999 women and 688 men, with an average age of 70.05 ± 5.5 years. The assessment included health-related fitness using the Senior Fitness Test and anthropometric indices, such as the body adiposity index, body mass index, conicity index, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist-to-height ratio, among others. The results indicated that gender significantly influences the values of physical performance and anthropometric parameters, making them incomparable. The degree of correlation between anthropometric indices and muscular, motor, and cardiorespiratory components of fitness depends on each anthropometric index analysed. The anthropometric index most correlated with physical fitness performance parameters is the waist-to-height ratio (WHR), followed by the body mass index (BMI). Cardiorespiratory endurance and balance are the two physical parameters most correlated with anthropometric indices.
