Wu DY, et al. - Researchers evaluated 8272 participants between 18–79 years of age to explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis and also to know the role of lipid profiles in this association. They recorded 15.93% and 11.77% of crude and age-standardized prevalence of osteoporosis, respectively. They found the mean BMI for participants with osteoporosis, 24.12 kg/m² and 25.06 kg/m² for non-osteoporosis cases. They noticed a decline in the risk of osteoporosis among Chinese adult population with increasing BMI. Whereas they suggested lipid profiles, a possible mediator linking reduced risk of osteoporosis.
