Bone mineral density in 11–13-year-old boys: relative importance of the weight status and body composition factors

This study was aimed to investigate the influence of being overweight on bone mineral status in 11–13-year-old boys, who were divided into overweight (OW; n = 110) and normal weight (NW; n = 154) groups. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the whole body (WB), lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN), bo...

Zusammenfassung:	This study was aimed to investigate the influence of being overweight on bone mineral status in 11–13-year-old boys, who were divided into overweight (OW; n = 110) and normal weight (NW; n = 154) groups. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the whole body (WB), lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN), bone mineral content (BMC) at the WB, and body composition were assessed. Calculation of the bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) was completed for the WB, LS and FN. The BMC/height ratio was also computed. OW boys displayed similar values ( P > 0.05) for LS and FN BMAD and lower ( P
