background: obesity is associated with increased lipid peroxidation. it has also been suggested that risk of lipid peroxida­tion increases with increasing body iron stores. the aim of this study was to examine the association of body iron status with the concentration of plasma malondialdehyde (p-mda) as a marker of lipid peroxidation in obese and non-obese women. methods: in a case control stu...

background: the aim was to investigate the relationships among lean mass (lm), fat mass (fm), and bone mineral density (bmd) in women stratified by body mass index (bmi) (bmi – normal-weight, overweight, obese) and to determine threshold at which body fat assumes negative relationship with bmd. methods: this was a cross-sectional study in 471 healthy caucasian women, aged 18-67 years. bmd, lm, ...
