| [Geral] BMD and Physical Activity: Examining the Relationship in Class III Obesity | ||
| Published in Endocrinology Advisor: Time spent participating in light physical activity can determine the variance in femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in people with class III obesity, according to research presented at the 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Annual Meeting, held September 8-11, 2017 in Denver, Colorado. Researchers from the University of Porto in Portugal assessed 16 patients with class III obesity (age, 48.7±9.9 years; BMI, 47.6±1.8 kg/m2) to examine the relationship between sedentary behavior, physical activity, and BMD. To measure hip BMD, study participants underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans; physical activity and sedentary behavior were measured via accelerometer, worn for 1 week during waking hours.
