Bone mass, lean mass, and fat mass: same genes or same environments?
The contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the association among bone mineral density (BMD), lean mass, and fat mass were assessed in the Sydney Twin Study of Osteoporosis (Australia), 1995-1996, in 57 monozygotic and 55 dizygotic female twin pairs of Caucasian background, aged 52.8 (standard deviation, 13) years. In multiple regression analysis, lean mass was a significant deter...
متن کاملSerum creatinine and fat-free mass (lean body mass).
using this multiplex-PCR assay, suggests that the 22 and 22 alleles are much less common than the 22 allele in these populations (data not shown). These results are in agreement with the findings of Eng et al. (4 ). With the exception of the 22 total deletion spanning .300 kb of the a-globin cluster that was described in a Chinese family (3, 9), this multiplex-PCR assay detects all described So...
متن کاملContributions of lean mass and fat mass to bone mineral density: a study in postmenopausal women
BACKGROUND The relative contribution of lean and fat to the determination of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women is a contentious issue. The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that lean mass is a better determinant of BMD than fat mass. METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 210 postmenopausal women of Vietnamese background, aged between 50 and 85 years, w...
متن کاملLean mass predicts asthma better than fat mass among females.
The obesity phenotype associated with asthma is not known. Our objective was to define the relative contribution of various distributions of fat and lean mass to asthma prevalence. Data were obtained from 2,525 participants (including 1,422 females) who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at the year 20 examination in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) c...
متن کاملrelative importance of lean and fat mass on bone mineral density in iranian children and adolescents
conclusions these findings suggest that lean mass was the most important predictor of bmd in both genders. physical activity appears to positively impact on lean mass and needs to be considered in physical education and health-enhancing programs in iranian school children. background body weight is made up of lean and fat mass and both are involved in growth and development. impression of these...
