Introduction The aim of this study was to compare bone mineral density (BMD) and geometric indices of hip bone strength in a group of obese sarcopenic premenopausal women (n = 27) and a group of obese premenopausal women with normal appendicular lean mass (ALM)/body mass index ratio (BMI) (n = 26). Materials and methods The ALM/BMI criterion of The Foundation for the National Institute of Health was used; women with an ALM/BMI ratio < 0.512 m² were considered obese sarcopenic. Body composition and bone variables were measured by DXA. DXA measurements were completed for the whole body (WB), lumbar spine (L1–L4), total hip (TH) and femoral neck (FN). Hip geometry parameters including cross-sectional area (CSA), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), section modulus (Z), strength index (SI) and buckling ratio (BR) were derived by DXA. Results Age, weight and BMI were not significantly different between the two groups. Height, lean mass, skeletal muscle mass index, ALM and the ratio ALM/BMI were significantly higher in obese women with normal ALM/BMI ratio compared to obese sarcopenic women. Fat mass percentage was significantly higher in obese sarcopenic women compared to obese women with normal ALM/BMI ratio. WB BMC, TH BMD, FN BMD, CSA, CSMI and Z were significantly higher in obese women with normal ALM/BMI ratio compared to obese sarcopenic women. In the whole population (n = 53), ALM and the ratio ALM/BMI were positively correlated to WB BMC, CSA, CSMI and Z. Conclusion The present study suggests that sarcopenia negatively influences bone mineral density and hip geometry parameters before menopause in eumenorrheic obese women.

The aim of this study was to compare bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and geometric indices of hip bone strength among 3 groups of adult obese premenopausal women (severely obese, morbidly obese, and super morbidly obese). This study included 65 young adult premenopausal women whose body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m². They were divided into 3 groups using international cut-offs for BMI. Body composition and bone variables were measured by DXA. DXA measurements were completed for the whole body (WB), lumbar spine, total hip (TH), and femoral neck (FN). Geometric indices of FN strength (cross-sectional area, cross-sectional moment of inertia [CSMI], section modulus [Z], strength index [SI], and buckling ratio) were calculated by DXA. Results showed that age and height were not significantly different among the 3 groups. WB BMC values were higher in super morbidly obese women compared to severely and morbidly obese women. WB BMD, L1-L4 BMD, total hip BMD, FN BMD, cross-sectional area, CSMI, Z, and buckling ratio values were not significantly different among the 3 groups. SI values were lower in super morbidly obese compared to morbidly and severely obese women. In the whole population (n = 65), body weight, BMI, lean mass, fat mass, and trunk fat mass were positively correlated to WB BMC and negatively correlated to SI. Weight and lean mass were positively correlated to WB BMD and CSMI. Our findings suggest that the severity of obesity does not influence BMD values in premenopausal women.

Résumé Introduction La pratique d’activités physiques a des effets bénéfiques sur la densité minérale osseuse chez les sujets normo-pondérés. Cependant, la relation entre le niveau d’activité physique et les paramètres osseux chez les sujets en surcharge pondérale reste à éclaircir. Le but de cette étude était de comparer les paramètres osseux d’hommes sportifs en surcharge pondérale à des hommes sédentaires en surcharge pondérale. Méthodes Au total, 40 jeunes hommes [18 à 32 ans] en surcharge pondérale (indice de masse corporelle > 25 kg/m²) ont participé à cette étude. La population a été divisée en deux groupes : hommes sportifs en surcharge pondérale (n = 20) et hommes sédentaires en surcharge pondérale (n = 20). Le poids et la taille des sujets ont été mesurés et l’indice de masse corporelle (IMC) a été calculé. La composition corporelle, le contenu minéral osseux (CMO), la densité minérale osseuse (DMO) et la section transversale du col fémoral (CSA CF) ont été mesurés par absorptiométrie biphotonique à rayons X (DXA). Le volume hebdomadaire d’activité physique a été évalué par un questionnaire validé. Résultats Le CMO du corps entier (CE), la DMO CE, la DMO du rachis lombaire (L1-L4), la DMO CF et la CSA CF étaient significativement supérieurs dans le groupe de sportifs par rapport au groupe de sédentaires. Ces différences ont disparu après ajustement pour le volume hebdomadaire d’activité physique en utilisant une analyse de covariance. Enfin, dans l’ensemble de l’échantillon, le volume hebdomadaire d’activité physique était positivement corrélé au CMO CE, à la DMO CE, à la DMO L1-L4, à la DMO HE, à la DMO CF et à la CSA CF. Conclusion Cette étude suggère que la pratique d’activités physiques ait un effet positif sur le CMO, la DMO et la section transversale du col fémoral chez les hommes en surcharge pondérale.

Background: The obesity-related factors in adolescents differ from one country to another. In Lebanon, those factors are still undetermined. Therefore, our purpose is to investigate the main determinants of overweight and obesity in Lebanese adolescents and to assess gender-specific differences. Methods: In this cross-sectional epidemiological study, 1000 Lebanese adolescents were recruited to determine obesity-related factors: birth weight, weight at 5 and 10-year-old children, feeding pattern, only child or first born status, puberty characteristics, lifestyle [nutrition, sedentary behaviors, and physical activity], school grades, family obesity, obesity-related diseases, place of residence, and socio-economic and professional status of parents. Results: Multiple regressions show that puberty obesity, lifestyle, family obesity and family status, and childhood feeding pattern are consecutively the major factors to adolescents’ obesity. Contrary to Western countries, overweight and obese Lebanese adolescents belong to a high socioeconomic class, and they do practice more physical and leisure activities. This paradox is more obvious in boys (having a higher socio-economic status compared to girls, boys are more affected by overweight and obesity caused by behavioral problems and this despite their more frequent physical leisure activities). On the contrary, girls’ obesity is more associated with family obesity rather than behavior disorders. Conclusion: Lebanese adolescents’ obesity is related to many behavior disorders especially in boys. Moreover, their physical practice is not sufficient to overcome their excessive sedentary behaviors and nutritional mistakes.

Résumé Introduction La masse osseuse est influencée par de nombreux facteurs comme la génétique, la nutrition, les concentrations de certaines hormones et les contraintes mécaniques (poids du corps et activité physique). Le pic de masse osseuse à 25 ans conditionne la courbe de décroissance de la densité minérale osseuse (DMO) menant à l’ostéoporose. Le but de ce travail était d’étudier les relations éventuelles entre des paramètres de santé facilement mesurables (facteurs anthropométriques, performances physiques et nutrition) et la BUA (Broadband Ultrasound attenuation ou atténuation du signal ultrasonore) mesurée au niveau du calcanéus. Méthodes Au total, 130 sujets (85 femmes et 45 hommes) âgés en moyenne de 21 ans (18 à 38 ans) ont participé à cette étude (Universanté-CEMHaVie). Le poids, la taille, la masse grasse, le tour de hanche et le tour de taille ont été mesurés et l’indice de masse corporelle (IMC) a été calculé. Le niveau de condition physique a été déterminé à l’aide de plusieurs tests : test de Sargent (TS), test de navette (TN) 4 × 10 m et test de force de préhension du poignet (FP). Des questionnaires validés ont été utilisés afin d’évaluer le niveau d’activité physique quotidien (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire [GPAQ]), l’indice de qualité du sommeil de Pittsburgh (IQSP) et la consommation calcique journalière (CCJ). L’atténuation du signal ultrasonique (BUA) a été mesurée au niveau du calcanéum par un appareil de type « Pegasus Smart Medlink® ». Résultats Chez les sujets féminins, le poids (r = 0,46 ; p < 0,001), l’indice de masse corporelle (r = 0,43 ; p < 0,001), la masse grasse (r = 0,27 ; p < 0,01), le tour de hanche (r = 0,25 ; p < 0,01) et le tour de taille (r = 0,31 ; p < 0,01) étaient positivement corrélés à la BUA. En revanche, nous n’avons pas retrouvé de corrélation entre la BUA et la quantité d’activité physique évaluée par le GPAQ, la condition physique (TS, TN et FP) et la consommation calcique journalière. Chez les hommes, aucune corrélation significative n’a été mise en évidence entre les paramètres mesurés et la BUA. Conclusion Les caractéristiques morphologiques mesurées dans notre étude (l’IMC, le poids, la masse grasse, le tour de hanche et le tour taille) semblent des déterminants de santé corrélés à la BUA chez les jeunes femmes mais pas chez les jeunes hommes. Ces corrélations paraissent intéressantes à étudier sur une population plus importante. Niveau de preuve III.

The aim of this study was to analyze the reliability and the validity of the handgrip, basketball throw and pushups tests in children aged 6–12 years. One hundred and eighty healthy children (82 girls) agreed to participate in this study. All the upper body muscular fitness tests were performed twice (7 days apart) whereas the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) bench press test was performed 2 days after the first session of testing. All the tests showed a high reproducibility (ICC > 0.9) except the push-ups test (intertrial difference = 0.77 ± 2.38, p < .001 and the percentage error = 9%). The handgrip test showed the highest association with 1RM bench press test ( r = .79, p < .01; R ² = .621). In conclusion the handgrip and basketball throw tests are shown as reliable and valid tests to assess upper body muscular strength in children. More studies are needed to assess the validity and the reliability of the upper body muscular endurance tests in children.

... reported that a lower femoral neck BMD was an independent risk factor for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. In addition, obesity might negatively affect other bone parameters, such as the trabecular bone score and composite indices of femoral neck strength [17][18][19]. It seems intricate to describe a reasonable BMI that achieves higher BMD between the lumbar and femoral neck. ...

... Additional investigations examined whether subjective sleep quality, assessed by PSQI, was associated with bone health. Here, poor subjective sleep quality was found to negatively correlate with BMC and BMD [74], [184], [295]. One major limitation of these studies is the subjective report of sleep duration and quality, thereby making the results hardly comparable between individuals. ...

... If the PSQI score was high, it meant that sleep quality was bad; therefore, the lower the score, the better the sleep quality. Because a significant correlation has been shown between parameters [39][40][41] of bone health and sleep quality in several preceding studies, sleep quality was evaluated. ...

... A systematic review with meta-analysis showed that overweight and obese children had significantly higher BMD than normal weight children [7]. However, it has also been noted that the bone mass of obese children and adolescents is insufficient for their body weight [8,9] and that BMD is lower in adolescents with obesity [10]. During growth, lean mass has been directly related to BMD variability [11][12][13][14], while the effect of fat mass on BMD remains controversial [13]. ...
