Background: Higher fat mass may be an independent risk factor for osteoporosis and
osteoporotic fractures. Objective: We aimed to determine the independent contribution of fat
mass to osteoporosis and to estimate the risk of osteoporotic fractures in relation to body
weight, lean mass, and other confounders. Design: This was a community-based, cross-
sectional study of 7137 men, 4585 premenopausal women, and 2248 postmenopausal
women aged 25–64 y. Total-body and hip bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral …
