“…The TBS score can assist the healthcare professional in assessing fracture risk (20,21). In our laboratory, the coefficients of variation were less than 1% for BMC and BMD and less than 3% for FN CSA (22)(23)(24)(25). The same certified technician performed all analyses using the same technique for all measurements.…”

“…The association of BMI ≥ 50 kg/m 2 with lower total vertebral column and hip BMD is relevant. It is particularly relevant because there is a hypothesis that the mechanical overload of obesity can increase bone mass [ 7 ]. Our findings corroborate with the physiological pathway in which inflammatory and endocrine factors present in obesity and, more specifically, related to visceral adipose tissue and higher percentage of fat, can compromise the quality of bone mass [ 2 , 3 , 13 , 44 , 68 , 69 , 72 ].…”

“…Few studies showed beneficial effects of obesity on bone health. There are reasons to believe that these effects of obesity on BMD are context-dependent, since, in general, excess body fat exerts mechanical overload on the bones, in addition to hyperinsulinemia and hyperamylinemia that may negatively affect the bones [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. A study revealed that a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 kg/m 2 had a beneficial effect on BMD [ 10 ].…”

“…Both bone parameters were determined for each individual by DXA at whole body, lumbar spine and proximal femur (total hip [TH] and FN). In our laboratory, the coefficients of variation were < 1% for BMC and BMD [25][26][27][28]. All analyses were performed by the same certified technician who used the exact same technique for all measurements.…”
