“…Femoral neck aBMD by DXA . Femoral neck aBMD by DXA was reported in 48 studies [ 52 , 54 , 56 , 58 – 60 , 67 – 72 , 84 , 85 , 88 , 89 , 92 , 93 , 96 , 97 , 101 , 103 , 106 – 108 , 110 – 114 , 118 , 120 , 121 , 124 , 128 , 130 , 142 , 144 , 148 – 153 , 167 , 173 , 177 , 180 , 181 ], including 30,577 participants. Obesity was associated with increased femoral neck aBMD in postmenopausal women (n = 21: MD = 0.06 g/cm 2 , 95% CI: 0.05, 0.08, P<0.00001, I 2 = 90%), premenopausal women (n = 13: MD = 0.05 g/cm 2 , 95% CI: 0.03, 0.07, P<0.00001, I 2 = 92%), men (n = 8: MD = 0.05 g/cm 2 , 95% CI: 0.03, 0.07, P<0.00001, I 2 = 79%), and in studies combining men and women (n = 7: MD = 0.07 g/cm 2 , 95% CI: 0.04, 0.10, P<0.00001, I 2 = 77%) ( S2 Fig ).…”
