Lipid profiles are significantly related to bone mass in women and men.
2004 APR 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Lipid profiles are related to bone mass in women and men.
"A number of recent findings seem to indicate that fat and bone metabolism are strictly connected. We investigated the relationship between lipid profile and bone mineral density (BMD) in 236 either pre- or postmenopausal women, aged 35-81 years, attending our osteoporosis center ('clinic group'). In order to verify the consistency of the results, 265 men and 481 women aged 68-75, participating in a population-based epidemiological investigation ('community cohort'), were also studied," scientists in Italy report.
"Lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip and total body BMD, total body fat, percent fat mass and lean mass were measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In the clinic group, lumbar spine and hip BMD Z score values were both strongly related to all measured serum lipids: the relationship was negative for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (p
"When BMD values were adjusted for body weight and BMI, most relationships remained statistically significant. In the community cohort, total body and hip BMD values were strongly related in both men and women to age, body weight, height, BMI, fat mass, lean mass, percent fat mass. Total body and hip BMD were significantly related to serum lipids in both women and men. The relationship was negative for HDL cholesterol and positive for total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol," they reported.
"Most of these relationships (triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, ...
