Relationship between body composition and bone mass in normal-weight and overweight adolescents

Abstract: Adolescence is a period characterized by large accumulation of bone mass. Body composition is an important determinant of bone mass. This study aimed to assess the relationship of bone mass with lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) in normal-weight and overweight adolescents with consideration of sex, sexual maturation and physical activity covariates. A total of 118 adolescents (60 girls and 58 boys) aged between 10 and 14 years participated in the study. Individuals were classified as normal weight or overweight… Show more

“…University students who were previously habituated to exercise through participation in athletic clubs during high school have been reported to exhibit higher mean SMI values 49 . These findings underscore the importance of physical activity starting from a young age, as emphasized by WHO 19 , which may have implications not only for the prevention of obesity and hypertension [50][51][52] but also for averting secondary sarcopenia. Additionally, muscle mass loss and lack of current exercise habits had a significant effect on lower limb motor function, given that the detrimental effect of muscle mass loss on motor function may outweigh the impact of lacking current exercise habits.…”
