Abstract

Context: The scientific literature shows conflicting evidence about the relationship between adiposity and bone mass in overweight and obese populations.
Objective: The aim of this review was to quantify the correlation between adipose mass (absolute and relative) and bone mineral density (BMD) in overweight and obese populations.
Data Sources: Three databases were searched electronically. In addition, reference lists of relevant articles were screened.
Study Selection: A total of 16 studies, comprising 2587 participants and 75 correlation coefficients were selected for inclusion in the review. Data Extraction: Data were extracted from each study using a standardized form.
Results: Multilevel modeling indicated opposing relationships between BMD and adiposity: absolute adiposity correlated positively, and relative adiposity negatively, with BMD. Sex and age were the primary moderators of these relationships. Strong evidence supported a negative relationship between relative adipose mass and BMD in men (R = -0.37; 95%CI, -0.57 to -0.12) and in those aged less than 25 years (R = -0.28; 95%CI, -0.45 to -0.08).
Conclusion: To prevent bone loss in overweight and obese populations, nutrition- and exercise-based interventions that focus on a controlled reduction of adipose mass with concomitant preservation of lean mass are recommended.
