Whole-body bone mineral density and markers of bone homeostasis in adults with normal-weight obesity

Normal-weight obesity (NWO) describes individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI), but high body fat percent. NWO are at-risk for cardiometabolic diseases, but little is known about their bone health. Adults (N = 24) were classified as NWO (n = 12; 5M/7F) or low body fat percent controls (Con; n...

Description
Summary:Normal-weight obesity (NWO) describes individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI), but high body fat percent. NWO are at-risk for cardiometabolic diseases, but little is known about their bone health. Adults (N = 24) were classified as NWO (n = 12; 5M/7F) or low body fat percent controls (Con; n = 12; 6M/6F). Body composition and whole-body bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed using DXA. A serum bioplex assay was performed to examine markers related to bone formation and resorption. In addition to higher body fat percent and visceral fat, NWO had lower whole-body BMD relative to Con (p's
