Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether sarcopenia and its components are associated with osteoporosis in community-dwelling older Chinese adults with different obesity levels. This cross-sectional study included 1938 participants (42.1% male) with a mean age of 72.1 ± 5.9 years. The categorization of individuals into various weight categories was based on the Working Group on Obesity in China's criteria, utilizing the body mass index (BMI) as follows: underweight, BMI < 18.5 kg/m2; normal weight, 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m2; overweight, 24 ≤ BMI < 28 kg/m2; and obesity, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2. In this research, the osteoporosis definition put forth by the World Health Organization (bone mineral density T-score less than or equal to -2.5 as assessed by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)). Sarcopenia was defined according to the diagnostic criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. The prevalence of osteoporosis was highest in the underweight group and gradually decreased with increasing BMI (Underweight: 55.81% vs Normal weight: 45.33% vs Overweight: 33.69% vs Obesity: 22.39). Sarcopenia was associated with elevated odds of osteoporosis in normal-weight subjects independent of potential covariates (OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.22-2.35, P = .002). In normal-weight participants, a higher appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) was associated with a reduced risk of osteoporosis (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.42-0.74, P < .001). In this study, we found that the prevalence of osteoporosis was highest in the underweight group and gradually decreased with increasing BMI. Sarcopenia, body fat percentage, and ASMI were associated with elevated odds of osteoporosis in normal-weight subjects independent of potential covariates, and higher percent body fat (PBF) was associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis in overweight people, and no such association was found in other weight groups. Different amounts of adipose tissue and muscle mass may alter bone biology. Further longitudinal follow-up studies are required to more accurately assess the risk of osteoporosis and sarcopenia in different weight populations. This cross-sectional study found that the prevalence of osteoporosis was highest in the underweight group and gradually decreased with increasing BMI. Sarcopenia was associated with elevated odds of osteoporosis in normal-weight subjects independent of potential covariates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations of fat distribution with bone health are debatable. We aimed to investigate the associations between neck circumference (NC) and bone mineral loss among the adult Chinese population in Sichuan province. METHODS We examined overall NC size and NC stratums (≤35 cm, 3538 cm) with bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck, lumbar spine, total hip skeletal sites in 135 men and 479 women respectively, and assessed whether adiposity, lipids, and calcium and phosphorus levels, might have a biased role in the relationship of NC and bone mineral loss with linear regression, logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline models. RESULTS The overall NC size is not independently associated with BMD at all sites. However, stratification for NC revealed that the positive correlation between NC and BMD at all sites were significant in the NC stratum 1 (≤35 cm) in women (all p < 0.05) and NC stratum 2 (3538 cm) compared with NC stratum 1 using logistic regression. However, in women, no statistically significant association was observed between NC stratum 1 and BMD values after adjustment for the same confounders. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest a NC stratum-specific association between NC size and bone mineral loss in men in Sichuan province in China, but not in women.

Abstract
Adiposity and bone mineral density (BMD) are closely associated. The aim of this research was to investigate the association between BMD and adiposity measures in adults, including gynoid percent fat (GPF), android percent fat (APF), total percent fat (TPF), visceral adipose tissue percent (VAT%), and total lean mass percent (TLM%). Participants (n = 11,615) aged 18 years and older were analyzed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 1999 to 2018. Associations between BMD and adiposity measures were investigated, and potential differences based on gender and age were explored. Significant negative associations were observed among TPF, APF, GPF, VAT%, and BMD in the fully adjusted models, while TLM% and BMD were positively associated. Stratifying by age and sex, TPF, GPF, and VAT% consistently demonstrated a negative correlation with BMD. In the young adult group, a TPF of 38.2% eliminated the negative correlation between BMD and TPF. Male BMD exhibited an inverted U-shaped relationship with APF, peaking at 35.6%, while a similar pattern was observed for the middle-aged group BMD and APF, with a peak at 31.7%. This large-sample research found a significant negative association between adiposity measures and BMD, providing valuable revelations regarding the intricate connection between adiposity and bone health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body composition is associated with bone mineral density (BMD), but the precise associations between body fat distribution and BMD remain unclear. The regional adipose tissue depots have different metabolic profiles. We hypothesized that they would have independent associations with BMD. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used data from 4,900 healthy individuals aged 30-50 years old from the Oxford Biobank to analyze associations between regional fat mass, lean mass and total BMD. RESULTS Total lean mass was strongly positively associated with BMD. An increase in total BMD was observed with increasing mass of all the fat depots, as measured either by anthropometry or DXA, when accounting for lean mass. However, on adjustment for both total fat mass and lean mass, fat depot specific associations emerged. Increased android and visceral adipose tissue mass in men, and increased visceral adipose tissue mass in women, were associated with lower BMD. CONCLUSIONS Fat distribution alters the association between adiposity and BMD.

Abstract
There is a large literature on the relationship between obesity and bone. What we can conclude from this review is that the increase in body weight causes an increase in BMD, both for a mechanical effect and for the greater amount of estrogens present in the adipose tissue. Nevertheless, despite an apparent strengthening of the bone witnessed by the increased BMD, the risk of fracture is higher. The greater risk of fracture in the obese subject is due to various factors, which are carefully analyzed by the Authors. These factors can be divided into metabolic factors and increased risk of falls. Fractures have an atypical distribution in the obese, with a lower incidence of typical osteoporotic fractures, such as those of hip, spine and wrist, and an increase in fractures of the ankle, upper leg, and humerus. In children, the distribution is different, but it is not the same in obese and normal-weight children. Specifically, the fractures of the lower limb are much more frequent in obese children. Sarcopenic obesity plays an important role. The authors also review the available literature regarding the effects of high-fat diet, weight loss and bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported inconsistent results regarding the associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity-related indices and bone mineral density (BMD). However, no previous studies have reported these associations among hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aims of this study were to investigate associations between MetS and its components and BMD T-score in HD patients and also between obesity-related indices and BMD T-score in HD patients with and without MetS. MetS was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III for Asians, and BMD T-score was calculated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Eight obesity-related indices were evaluated, including lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), body adiposity index, conicity index (CI), body roundness index (BRI), abdominal volume index (AVI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist–hip ratio, and body mass index (BMI). One hundred and sixty-four patients undergoing HD were enrolled, and the prevalence of MetS was 61.6%. MetS was significantly associated with high lumbar spine and total hip T-scores. Regarding the MetS components, abdominal obesity and low HDL-C were significantly associated with high lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip T-scores; hypertriglyceridemia was significantly associated with high lumbar spine and total hip T-scores; hyperglycemia was significantly associated with a high lumbar spine T-score, whereas high blood pressure was not associated with T-score at any site. In the patients with MetS, BMI, WHtR, AVI, and BRI were significantly associated with T-score at all sites, and high CI, VAI, and LAP were also related to a high lumbar T-score. However, these indices were not associated with T-score at any site in patients without MetS. This study demonstrated positive associations between MetS and its five components and BMD T-score among HD patients. MetS, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-cholesterol were associated with low risk of osteoporosis among the HD patients. Furthermore, we found that some obesity-related indices were associated with BMD T-score among HD patients with MetS but not in those without MetS. Our study highlights the importance of BMI, WHtR, AVI, and BRI in predicting the risk of osteoporosis among HD patients with MetS. In clinical practice, they can be easily calculated through simple anthropometric measurements and routine laboratory examinations and be used to quickly and conveniently assess the risk of osteoporosis among HD patients.

Abstract
The implications of obesity and weight loss for human bone health are not well understood. Although the bone changes associated with weight loss are similar in humans and rodents, that is not the case for obesity. In humans, obesity is generally associated with increased bone mass, an outcome which is exacerbated by advanced age and menopause. In rodents, by contrast, bone mass decreases in proportion to severity and duration of obesity, and is influenced by sex, age and mechanical load. Despite these discrepancies, rodents are frequently used to model the situation in humans. In this review, we summarise the existing knowledge of the effects of obesity and weight loss on bone mass in humans and rodents, focusing on the translatability of findings from animal models. We then describe how animal models should be used to broaden the understanding of the relationship between obesity, weight loss, and skeletal health in humans. Specifically, we highlight the aspects of study design that should be considered to optimise translatability of the rodent models of obesity and weight loss. Notably, the sex, age, and nutritional status of the animals should ideally match those of interest in humans. With these caveats in mind, and depending on the research question asked, our review underscores that animal models can provide valuable information for obesity and weight-management research.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate, in Systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, the body composition and the bone status according to the peripheral microcirculatory condition, assessed and scored by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC, "Early", "Active", "Late" patterns). METHODS Body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed by Dual X-ray absorptiometry and dedicated software (GE Lunar USA) in 37 female SSc patients classified according to the 2013 EULAR/ACR criteria and 40 sex-matched healthy subjects. Clinical, laboratory, body composition and bone parameters were analyzed according to the different NVC patterns. Means were compared by the Student's t test or one-way analysis of variance; medians were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test; and frequencies by the chi-square test. RESULTS Higher prevalence of vertebral (21% vs 7%) and femoral (35% vs 7%) osteoporosis (OP) was found in SSc. Particularly SSc patients with "Late" NVC pattern showed a significantly higher prevalence of vertebral (p = 0.018) and femoral OP (p = 0.016). Regional assessment of bone mass (BM) in seven different body areas showed a significantly lower BMD only at the total spine (p = 0.008) and femoral neck (p = 0.027) in advanced microvascular damage. Patients with "Late" NVC pattern showed a lower whole-body lean mass (LM) compared to "Early" and "Active" NVC patterns, particularly at upper limbs. To note, in all body sites, BMD correlates with LM and BMC according to NVC pattern severity. CONCLUSIONS SSc patients with most severe microvascular damage show a significantly altered body composition and bone status suggesting a strong link between microvascular failure and associated muscle/bone sufferance.

Ye C, Guo Y, Zheng Y, Wu Z, Chen K, Zhang X, Xiao L, Chen Z. Distal radial cortical bone thickness correlates with bone mineral density and can predict osteoporosis: a cohort study. Injury 2020; 51:2617-2621. [PMID: 32807393 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2020.08.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation of the bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and lumbar spine with the distal radius cortical thickness (DRCT) measured on anteroposterior radiographs and establish a method for predicting osteoporosis. METHODS We assessed 147 patients aged ≥50 years with distal radius fractures who underwent wrist radiographs and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The DRCT was measured and calculated at two levels of the distal radius of the injured wrist on the radiographs. RESULTS The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of measures was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.85). In the Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analyses, the DRCT was positively correlated with hip BMD (r = 0.393, P < 0.01) and lumbar spine BMD (r = 0.529, P < 0.01). Each 1-mm increase in DRCT was associated with a 0.051-g/cm2 increase in hip BMD (R2 = 0.154, P < 0.01) and a 0.080-g/cm2 increase in lumbar spine BMD (R2 = 0.280, P < 0.01). A DRCT of 5.1 mm was selected as the cutoff point for predicting osteoporosis, with the highest Youden index of 0.560, 83.3% sensitivity, 72.7% specificity, and a 66.7% negative predictive value. CONCLUSION Cortical thickness measurements obtained from anteroposterior wrist radiographs were positively correlated with hip and lumbar spine BMD measurements. This technique is suggested as a rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive method for predicting osteoporosis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic II.

Choi H, Yoo JI. Sarcopenia and Hip-Structure Analysis Variables in Korean Elderly Population. J Clin Densitom 2020; 23:482-489. [PMID: 30249362 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocd.2018.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2018] [Revised: 08/12/2018] [Accepted: 08/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is comparing the hip-structure analysis (HSA) variables with the skeletal muscle index (SMI) in elderly patients with sarcopenia using nationwide representative data on the Republic of Korea (ROK). The survey data were collected from household interviews and direct standardized physical examinations conducted in specially equipped mobile examination centers. The data were collected in 2008 from 9744 participants. Patients under 65 years of age who were without data on the skeletal-muscle-mass and HSA variables were excluded. After these exclusions, a total of 744 participants (293 men and 451 women) were ultimately analyzed. The HSA measurements of the hip-bone geometry were analyzed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The appendicular SMI is defined as the sum of the arm and leg SMIs. Sarcopenia is defined according to the criteria for the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia as SMIs of less than 5.4 kg/m2 and 7.0 kg/m2 for women and men, respectively. In the entire population, SMI was found to be positively correlated to HSA variables. After adjusting for age, body mass index, and energy intake in both the women and men groups, a statistically significant difference became evident in all variables between the SMI and the HSA. The present study suggests that skeletal-muscle loss negatively affects hip-bone-strength indices in elderly sarcopenia patients. Implementing strategies to increase SMI in the elderly population may be useful for reducing the vulnerability to hip fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Results from previous studies investigating the association of obesity with bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis (OP) are inconsistent. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether obesity is associated with BMD and the risk of OP. STUDY DESIGN This is a meta-analysis. METHODS A computerised literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) (Chinese) and Wanfang (Chinese) databases for relevant articles published in English or Chinese before the end of December 2017. Means with standard deviations and odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were computed to estimate the association between obesity and BMD and the risk of OP by using a random-effects model. In addition, a heterogeneity test and sensitivity analysis were conducted. RESULTS Adults with obesity had higher BMD than healthy-weight subjects in both the lumbar spine and femoral neck measurement sites. Obesity was positively related to BMD in the two sites, with merged weighted mean difference (WMD) of 0.07 g/cm2 in the lumbar spine (95% CI: 0.045, 0.095; P < 0.001; Pheterogeneity <0.001; I2 = 89.1%) and WMD of 0.087 g/cm2 in the femoral neck (95% CI: 0.063, 0.112; P < 0.001; Pheterogeneity <0.001; I2 = 92.8%). General obesity was negatively related to femoral neck OP, indicating that obesity is a protective factor for OP, with a merged OR of 0.169 (95% CI: 0.132, 0.216; P < 0.001; Pheterogeneity = 0.716; I2 = 0.0%). CONCLUSIONS Adults with obesity had significantly higher BMD than healthy-weight adults. Obesity was positively associated with BMD and negatively correlated with OP.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) cases are increasing worldwide, especially in Saudi Arabia. Previous studies suggested a positive relationship between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD) levels. Generally, patients with low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) have reduced BMD levels and, thus, low T-scores; hence, they are categorized as osteopenic or osteoporotic. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a relationship between BMI and BMD T-scores in the hip and spine regions of patients with diabetes exists. This retrospective record review investigated older adult patients with diabetes in King Abdulaziz University Hospital (n=198; age 50-90 years) who underwent BMD scan between January 1, 2016, and June 25, 2018, regardless of their sex but limited to type 2 DM. The height and weight of all subjects were recorded, and BMI was calculated and categorized. We used SPSS version 21 for data analysis; measures of central tendencies, Pearson's correlations, chi-square tests, and independent t-tests were employed. We found positive relationships between BMI and BMD T-scores in the hip and spine regions (right femoral neck: R=+0.214, P ≤ 0.002; total right hip: R=+0.912, P ≤ 0.001; left femoral neck: R=+0.939, P ≤ 0.001; total left hip: R=+0.885, P ≤ 0.001; and total lumbar region: R=+0.607, P ≤ 0.001). Low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) could be a risk factor for osteoporosis, whereas normal/high BMI could be protective against osteoporosis among adults with diabetes.

Abstract
Context The scientific literature shows conflicting evidence about the relationship between adiposity and bone mass in overweight and obese populations. The aim of this review was to quantify the correlation between adipose mass (absolute and relative) and bone mineral density (BMD) in overweight and obese populations. Three databases were searched electronically. In addition, reference lists of relevant articles were screened. A total of 16 studies, comprising 2587 participants and 75 correlation coefficients were selected for inclusion in the review. Data were extracted from each study using a standardized form. Multilevel modeling indicated opposing relationships between BMD and adiposity: absolute adiposity correlated positively, and relative adiposity negatively, with BMD. Sex and age were the primary moderators of these relationships. Strong evidence supported a negative relationship between relative adipose mass and BMD in men (R = -0.37; 95%CI, -0.57 to -0.12) and in those aged less than 25 years (R = -0.28; 95%CI, -0.45 to -0.08). To prevent bone loss in overweight and obese populations, nutrition- and exercise-based interventions that focus on a controlled reduction of adipose mass with concomitant preservation of lean mass are recommended. : PROSPERO no.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Present study was designed to find out whether leptin is a predictor of bone mass density (BMD) in premenopausal women (PMW) and postmenopausal osteoporotic women (PMOPW) or it has no association with BMD. METHODS One hundred and ninety two women (98 PMOPW and 94 PMW) were recruited for this study. The control group was BMI matched with osteoporotic subjects. BMD assessment was done on calcaneus by peripheral ultrasound bone densitometry and T scores were determined. Serum leptin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Serum leptin and BMD values were significantly different in both groups (leptin, 18.56 ± 8.65 ng/ml versus 21.64 ± 9.80 ng/ml, p = 0.02) and (BMD, -0.70 ± 0.19 versus -3.17 ± 0.59, p = 0.000), respectively. In PMOPW serum leptin and BMD were considerably correlated with weight (lep, r = 0.53, p = <0.001; BMD, r = -0.21, p = 0.02), BMI (lep, r = 0.52, p = <0.001; BMD, r = -0.27, p = 0.005), waist circumference (lep, r = 0.61, p = <0.001; BMD, r = 0.18, p = 0.04), hip circumference (lep, r = 0.58, p = <0.001). Multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis showed that weight and BMI in PMW and PMOPW were independent predictors of BMD. Serum leptin level was not found to be the predictor of BMD in both groups. CONCLUSION The present results indicate that body weight and BMI have an impact on BMD while serum leptin is not associated with BMD in PMW and PMOPW.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare bone variables in active overweight/obese men and sedentary overweight/obese men. Thirty-seven active overweight/obese men and 45 sedentary overweight/obese men participated in this study. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index was calculated. Body composition and bone variables (bone mineral content [BMC], bone mineral density [BMD], geometric indices of hip bone strength, and trabecular bone score) were measured by DXA. Physical activity level, daily calcium intake, daily protein intake, and sleep duration were measured by validated questionnaires. Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) was determined by direct measurement while exercising on a medical treadmill. One-repetition-maximum half-squat of the lower limbs was measured using a validated protocol. Body weight and body mass index were higher in sedentary overweight/obese men than in active overweight/obese men. In the whole population (n = 82), VO2 max (in liter per minute), lean mass, and one-repetition-maximum half-squat were positively correlated to BMC, BMD, and geometric indices of hip bone strength (cross-sectional area and section modulus [Z] of the femoral neck [FN]). After adjusting for body weight using a 1-way analysis of covariance, active overweight/obese men displayed higher whole-body BMC, lumbar spine BMD, total hip BMD, FN BMD, FN cross-sectional area, and FN Z values than sedentary overweight/obese men. In conclusion, the current study suggests that physical activity level positively affects bone variables in overweight/obese men. Optimizing lean mass and muscular strength of the lower limbs can help to prevent osteoporosis in overweight and obese men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Body weight and body mass index (BMI) are considered potentially modifiable determinants of bone mass. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the association between body weight and body mass index (BMI) with total hip and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS This cross-sectional study included a population of 100 women and 32 men from Kosovo into three BMI groups. All the study subjects underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements. RESULTS Total hip BMD levels of obese menopausal and premenopausal women and men were significantly higher compared to overweight or normal weight subjects, while lumbar spine BMD levels of only menopausal women and men were higher among obese subjects. Age-adjusted linear regression analysis showed that BMI is a significant independent associate of lumbar spine and total hip BMD in menopausal women and men. CONCLUSION Despite positive association between BMI and lumbar spine and total hip BMD in menopausal women, presence of more obese and osteoporotic subjects among menopausal women represent a population at risk for fractures because of poor balance and frequent falls; therefore, both obesity and osteoporosis prevention efforts should begin early on in life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoporosis is a debilitating condition with rising frequency of fragility fractures with advancing age. Life expectancy increases in developing societies with the emergence of osteoporosis. There is a need for a simple protocol to diagnose fractures that merit treatment for osteoporosis. METHODS Evaluation of all consecutive lateral chest radiographs performed at the National Hospital in the capital city in Greenland over a 3-month period for vertebral body heights at the anterior, middle and posterior regions. Use of anti-osteoporotic drug was evaluated from records of dispensed drugs from Greenland National Pharmacy. RESULTS 1869 vertebrae were evaluated on radiographs from 203 subjects. On average 9.2 vertebrae (range 5-13) qualified for evaluation in each individual. Median (range) age was 55 (30-82) years. Any vertebral deformity above 25 (20) % was seen in 28.6 (50.2) %. More than one fracture was seen in 10.3 (27.1) %. Fractures occurred in 18.5 (36.9) % of patients from the General Medicine Clinic and in 33.3 (56.5) % of inpatients (p = 0.029). The occurrence of vertebral fractures increased with age (p < 0.001) and hosting more than one vertebral fracture was markedly more frequent after the age of 60 years [OR, 95 % CI 9.6, 3.1-30 (5.7, 2.9-11); p < 0.001] after correction for gender in logistic regressions. The National Pharmacy handed out anti-osteoporotic drugs equal to the treatment of 36 individuals. CONCLUSIONS Vertebral fractures that merit treatment can be readily diagnosed from lateral chest radiographs taken in routine clinical work-up. They are common in Greenland as demonstrated by this simple protocol to improve diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in a developing society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Body weight and body mass index (BMI) are considered strong predictors of osteoporotic fractures, though optimal BMI levels remain unsettled. There are several studies conducted on women about the relationship between BMI and bone mineral density (BMD), and just a few so far on men. Therefore, the objective of current study was to analyze the relationship between weight and BMI and BMD measured in lumbar spine (L1-L4), femur neck and total hip in 64 men from Kosovo. METHODS This cross-sectional study included a population of 64 men divided into three BMI groups. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurements were done in all the study participants. RESULTS Pearson's correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between weight and BMI and BMD in femur neck and in total hip, and a significant negative correlation between age and femur neck BMD. Age-adjusted linear regression analysis showed that weight and BMI had a significant positive association with BMD levels. CONCLUSION Although the results show significant relationship between BMI and BMD, the negative relationship between age and femur neck BMD may serve as guidance to initiate early assessment of the BMD in this region as well as preventive measures of osteoporosis and fractures among ageing men population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study is firstly designed to identify the relationship between serum omentin-1 concentration, body fat mass and bone mineral density in healthy Chinese male adults in Changsha city. METHODS A total of 219 (20-80 years old) healthy subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Serum omentin-1, adiponectin, leptin, resistin and bone turn over biochemical markers were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Bone mineral density (BMD) and fat body composition were determined using dual-energy-X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS Serum omentin-1 levels in the overweight subjects were significantly lower than those of the subjects with normal weight (p < 0.05). Omentin-1 was negatively correlated with weight (r = -0.418), body mass index (BMI, r = -0.419), waist circumference (r = -0.402), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, r = -0.355), fat body mass (FBM, r = -0.430), fat % (r = -0.408), trunk fat (-0.431). However, after controlling for age, BMI and FBM, no significant correlation was noticed between omentin-1 and BMD at different skeletal sites. Pearson's correlation coefficients and partial correlation coefficients after adjustment showed no significant correlations between omentin-1 and bone turn over biochemical markers, including bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and bone cross-linked N-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen. Multiple line stepwise regression analysis revealed that FBM, WHR, adiponectin were important variables affecting omentin-1. Moreover, lean tissue mass was the most important factor affecting BMD and explained 10.5-14.7 % of the variance. Omentin-1, leptin and resistin were not the predictors of BMD. CONCLUSIONS Serum omentin-1 was negatively correlated with FBM and BMI in healthy Chinese male adults, It was not significantly correlated with bone turnover biochemical markers. Omentin-1 may exert ambiguous effects on BMD, which maybe caused by the complex interactions among adipokines, hormonal activity, and body composition and bone metabolism.
