Association between visceral fat and bone mineral density in perimenopausal women
Among perimenopausal women, visceral fat is negatively associated with bone density, suggesting that the distribution of body fat rather than the total amount plays a pivotal role in the development of osteoporosis. These findings suggest the significance of regular physical exercise and the abdominal fat distribution for perimenopausal women.
