This cross-sectional study, to assess bone health in Indian overweight, obese children in comparison with healthy controls was conducted in 245 (126 girls) children and adolescents aged 6-17 y in Pune, India. It was found that total body bone mineral content, bone area and bone mineral density adjusted for Tanner stage and weight were significantly lower in obese children as compared to overweight children, which in turn, was significantly lower than normal weight children (p < 0.05). Thus, overweight and obesity is negatively related to bone health in children and adolescents. Interventions need to be planned to increase peak bone mass accrual in overweight and obese children to reduce future risk of fracture and osteoporosis.
这项横断面研究在印度浦那对245名6至17岁的儿童和青少年(126名女孩)进行,旨在评估印度超重、肥胖儿童与健康对照者的骨骼健康状况。研究发现,根据坦纳分期和体重进行调整后,肥胖儿童的全身骨矿物质含量、骨面积和骨密度显著低于超重儿童,而超重儿童又显著低于正常体重儿童(p < 0.05)。因此,超重和肥胖与儿童及青少年的骨骼健康呈负相关。需要制定干预措施,以增加超重和肥胖儿童的骨峰值积累,降低未来骨折和骨质疏松的风险。
