“…The fact that our results are robust to control for height, and are similar for both BMC and BMD, would appear to contradict the assertion that associations between BMD and lean mass in men represent only a artifactual correlation dictated by skeletal size [22]. Our finding that, in men, lean mass has greater importance than fat mass as a correlate of BMC is seemingly in agreement with others indicating that total fat mass may play a lesser role in maintenance of bone in men than in women [19,21,22]. However, existing research has also indicated that the importance of total lean mass may exceed that of fat mass in women as well [40], while at the same time the relative importance of lean versus fat mass in cross-sectional evaluations may not mirror those in longitudinal follow-up [49].…”

“…Abundant epidemiological evidence links body composition to bone mass in older adults [17][18][19][20][21][22], and increased BMI has been linked to lower rates of osteoporosis and fracture [23]. Likewise, prospective investigations have demonstrated associations between declines in body size and both bone loss and increases in fracture risk [24][25][26].…”

“…As orbital volume has an association with bony elements, Shaw et al (17) pointed out that orbital bony changes are similar to those of the axial skeleton. Kirchengast et al (18) suggested that a lower weight status and a low amount of lean body mass may be associated with increased bone loss, and Gracia-Marco et al (19) showed that adolescents with a low level of fitness had a lower bone mineral content. Therefore, it can be concluded that the orbital volume has a positive correlation with weight as well as height.…”

“…Em contraste com as consequências negativas da obesidade, verifica-se que a obesidade, em adultos e idosos, apresenta-se como um fator protetor para a ocorrência de fraturas e baixa densidade óssea (KIRCHENGAST et al, 2001;KNOKE e BARRETT-CONNOR, 2003).…”
