The relationship of body composition and bone mineral density is complex and controversial. When classifying Korean population based on gender, age, and body mass index, fat mass had varying contributions to bone mineral density.
Introduction
The relationship between body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) is complex, and it is uncertain how components of body mass variably affect BMD.
Methods
This cross-sectional observational study was performed in subjects ≥20 years based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2008 to 2011. Among 17,583 subjects, the mean ages were 49.1 ± 16.0 years (M,
n
= 7495) and 49.3 ± 16.3 years (F,
n
= 10,088). Subjects were divided into age groups, either |
