Obesity and Health Risk Factors in Czech Artillery Soldiers
DXA-measured body composition in Czech Artillery Soldiers closely matches contemporary U.S. Army values. The high prevalence of overweight and osteopenia underscores the need for preventive and educational strategies addressing both metabolic and skeletal health risks. Future research should determine the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis across the Czech Armed Forces to inform appropriate screening practices and targeted interventions.
