Al Raffa, Dubai -- (SBWire) -- 09/12/2014 --Obesity leads to many problems / diseases in body like it is associated with diabetes type2, hypertension etc but on the other hand fewer benefits are also mentioned like it makes bones stronger but this traditional view is challenged by one study .
According to this study published in Osteoporosis International, in this study they examined the relationship between fracture history and bone mineral density (BMD) in 400 women with a mean age of 44 yrs and a mean BMI of 46.
Study showed that severely obese women with the lowest BMD values, despite these being close to what would be considered “normal” in a non-obese woman, are at a significantly elevated risk of all types of fractures compared to severely obese women with elevated BMD.
As per this study, it may well be worth considering evaluating the potential benefits of routine BMD assessments in pre-menopausal women with severe obesity.
