Obesity, bone density relative to body weight and prevalent vertebral fracture at age 62 years: The Newcastle Thousand Families Study

Osteoporosis International Jan 11, 2019

Rudman HA, et al. - A sum of 342 candidates (aged 62.5 ± 0.5 years) from the Newcastle Thousand Families Study birth cohort were examined by investigators to examine the associations of body mass index (BMI) and obesity with bone mineral density (BMD) and prevalent vertebral fracture (VF). The candidates had undergone DXA assessments of femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD and of the lateral spine for vertebral fracture evaluation. They observed that obese males were more prone to have a grade 2 and/or grade 3 VF while BMI was linked negatively to lumbar spine BMD/weight and femoral neck BMD/weight.
