Metformin may decrease cell senescence, including bone; hence we aimed at evaluating the association between metformin use and osteoporosis. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in 1259 Latin American adult women aged 40 or more who were not on anti-osteoporotic drugs, were on metformin and
Evidence from both epidemiological studies and basic research suggests that obesity and osteoporosis are interrelated. Though there is an increase in the prevalence of these disorders, a limited number of treatments are available, one of the reasons being the complexity of the pathways involved and
BACKGROUND
SOX6 has been recently proposed as a pleiotropic gene for obesity and osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the rs7117858 genetic variant in SOX6 was associated with bone mass assessed by quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and obesity-related measures in a population
BACKGROUND
Leptin has been known to play a role in weight regulation through food intake and energy expenditure. Leptin also has an important role in bone metabolism. The role of leptin is determined by leptin receptors, either central or peripheral to the bones.
METHODS
We discuss the role of
Obesity and osteoporosis affect millions of Americans. While phenotypically, obesity is negatively correlated with fracture risk, research on a genetic basis for this relationship is lacking. We used males and females from 16 LGXSM recombinant inbred (RI) mouse strains to investigate the genetically
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association between obesity and osteoporosis in men aged above 50 in Chengdu.
METHODS
Male participants aged above 50 were recruited from those who visited West China Hospital of Sichuan University for health examinations. Bone mineral density was measured by MetriScan
BACKGROUND
Public SNP databases are frequently used to choose SNPs for candidate genes in the association and linkage studies of complex disorders. However, their utility for such studies of diseases with ethnic-dependent background has never been evaluated.
RESULTS
To estimate the accuracy and
The role of puberty and normal variations in pubertal timing for the development of obesity in men is unclear. The aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of pubertal timing and prepubertal BMI (kg/m(2)) for young adult BMI and fat mass distribution. Detailed growth charts from birth
BACKGROUND
A genome-wide bivariate analysis was conducted for body fat mass (BFM) and bone mineral density (BMD) in a large Caucasian sample. We found some quantitative trait loci shared by BFM and BMD in the total sample and the gender-specific subgroups, and quantitative trait loci with potential
Objective: Obesity is commonly defined by BMI rather than adiposity, which may have differential effects on musculoskeletal health. Musculoskeletal outcomes were compared in older adults with normal adiposity and normal BMI (NA-NBMI),
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a common disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Interestingly, osteoporosis and obesity have several similar features, including a genetic predisposition and a common bone marrow stem
Knowledge about the influence of bone on intermediary metabolism corresponds to a developing area that has gained prominence. The old concept of bone and adipose tissues as inert metabolic tissues, with minor contributions to metabolic adaptations has been reconsidered in light of findings that bone
OBJECTIVE
It has been reported that young adults' dietary habits and health behaviors have significant effects on obesity and bone health. However, there is a lack of thorough understanding of the prevalence of unhealthy behaviors and potential relationships to obesity and osteoporosis among young
Diverging international trends in fracture rates have been observed, with most reports showing that fracture rates have stabilized or decreased in North American and many European populations. We studied two complementary population-based historical cohorts from the Province of Manitoba, Canada
OBJECTIVE
To identify and describe characteristics of the bias of reported energy intake of participants in the Gothenburg Osteoporosis and Obesity Determinants (GOOD) study.
METHODS
A validated diet history with a detailed questionnaire and an interview was used. Body fat was analysed by
