Correlation of body compositions and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with different body mass index
The study demonstrates that the effect of body compositions on BMD varies by BMI classification and site-specific differences in postmenopausal women. Increased abdominal fat may confer a potential benefit for BMD in non-obese women with relative metabolic health. Conversely, optimizing body composition by reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass remains crucial for skeletal health in postmenopausal women.
