[Bone mineral density in overweight and obese adolescents].
OBJECTIVE To study bone density as a concomitant factor for obesity in post-pubertal adolescents, controlling for other variables that may interfere in such a relation. METHODS Study comprising 83 overweight and obese adolescents (BMI > or = P85) and 89 non obese ones (P5 < or = BMI < or = P85). Cases and controls were selected out of 1,420 students (aged 14-19) from a public school in the ci...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density in a cohort of normal, overweight and obese Chilean adolescents.
Osteoporosis, associated with low BMD, is a public health problem. Peak bone mass (PBM) is influenced by genetics, nutrition, body weight and physical activity, with 90% of PBM obtained by age 18 years. Recent research challenges the belief that obesity protects against low BMD. In a study of overweight and obese adults, researchers noted that overweight status was neutral or protective of BMD,...

متن کاملThe relationship between visceral fat thickness and bone mineral density in sedentary obese children and adolescents
BACKGROUND Among adults, obesity has been positively related to bone mineral density. However, recent findings have pointed out that abdominal obesity could be negatively related to bone density. The above mentioned relationship is not clear among pediatric populations. Therefore, this cross-sectional study analyzed the relationship between thickness of abdominal adipose tissue and bone mineral...
متن کاملInfluence of visceral and subcutaneous fat in bone mineral density of obese adolescents.
OBJECTIVE To verify the influence of visceral and subcutaneous fat, as well adipokines in bone mineral density (BMD) in obese adolescents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study involved 125 postpubertal obese adolescents (45 boys and 80 girls). Anthropometric measurements, body composition, visceral and subcutaneous fat, and BMD were determined. Leptin, adiponectin, and insulin levels also analyzed....
