Abstract:
The increasing prevalence of obesity in children worldwide has been a global healthy issue.It is important to identify the effect of fat mass on the bone, which contributes to promote the peak bone mass and prevent osteo-porosis-induced fracture.Body mass index (BMI), as an index to evaluate the state of obesity, is simple and easy to measure, and is suitable for self-test of a large range of people.This review aims to discuss the role of BMI in evaluating the interaction between obesity and bone density, and the predictive potential in fracture risk of children.
