Abstract
Obesity is a condition of abnormally increased body fat resulting from increased energy intake relative to energy expenditure. Excess body weight is a risk factor for many somatic and psychological disorders, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, and cancer types. Bone metabolism, bone turnover, and mineral content are altered in severe obesity. This review will focus on the relationship between inflammation and bone biomarkers in adult obesity.

Abstract
Forearm fractures in children and adolescents are associated with increased body mass index (BMI). This bone site is non-weight-bearing and therefore is appropriate to explore the effect of BMI on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone geometry, avoiding the confounding effect of increased weight-associated mechanical loading. The aim of this review was to summarize available evidence on bone indices and body composition assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) or dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the forearm level in overweight (Ow) or obese (Ob) subjects. We conducted a review of the literature according to the PICOS model. A total of 46 studies were identified following the literature search. A final number of 12 studies were included in this review. pQCT studies evidenced that Ow and Ob children typically have normal or increased volumetric BMD (vBMD), total bone area and cortical area, with normal or reduced cortical thickness at the forearm. Outcomes from DXA evaluations are less conclusive. In almost all the studies fat mass and lean mass area at the forearm are increased. A higher fat-to-lean mass ratio has been observed in few studies. Bone strength was reported as normal or increased compared to normal weight peers. In Ow or Ob children-adolescents, vBMD, bone size and bone strength are not reduced compared to normal weight peers. The local higher fat-to-lean mass ratio may give a mismatch between bone strength and the load experienced by the distal forearm during a fall, resulting in increased risk of forearm fractures.

Dairy product intake decreases bone resorption following a 12-week diet and exercise intervention in overweight and obese adolescent girls. Pediatr Res 2020; 88:910-916.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined whether increased dairy intake was associated with changes in the levels of bone-related biochemical markers in overweight/obese adolescent girls undergoing a 12-week diet and exercise intervention. METHODS Thirty-five girls were assigned to a low dairy group (LDa; 0-2 servings/day; n = 16) or a higher dairy group (RDa; 4 servings/day; n = 19). Morning, fasted/resting blood samples were collected before and after the intervention and serum concentrations of procollagen-type-1-N-terminal-propeptide (P1NP), β-isomerized-C-terminal-cross-linking-telopeptides (β-CTX), osteocalcin (OC), 25-hydroxyvitamin-D, sclerostin and parathyroid hormone were measured. RESULTS At baseline, there were no significant differences between groups in any bone variable. Changes (∆) over time in β-CTΧ (p = 0.035; interaction) and OC (p = 0.015; interaction) were significantly different between groups characterized by decreases in RDa and increases in LDa. P1NP and P1NP:β-CTX ratio decreased in both groups (main time effects: p = 0.003, p = 0.041, respectively). ∆β-CTX (r = -0.37; p = 0.028) and ∆OC (r = -0.39; p = 0.021) were correlated with average number of dairy servings consumed during the study and with each other (r = 0.45; p = 0.006). ∆OC was not correlated with ∆P1NP (r = 0.19; p = 0.27). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the osteogenic response to a diet and exercise program in this population can be improved with increased dairy intake via a decrease in bone resorption. IMPACT We demonstrated that bone resorption significantly decreased over the intervention period in the group consuming adequate levels of dairy products compared to the group consuming little to no dairy products. Change in bone resorption was negatively correlated with average number of dairy servings consumed during the study. Our results suggest that the osteogenic response to a diet and exercise program in this population can be improved with increased dairy intake via a decrease in bone resorption. This is the first study to date to assess changes in bone marker status following a lifestyle intervention with exercise and different intakes of dairy products in a sample of OW/OB adolescent girls. We provide evidence that increased dairy product intake is associated with beneficial changes in circulating levels of bone-related biochemical markers in these girls undergoing a 12-week lifestyle (nutrition counseling and exercise training) intervention program. The main impact of our work relates particularly to the recent changes to Canada's food guide. Using the old recommendations, we demonstrated that the inclusion of 3-4 servings of mixed dairy foods per day improved bone health (primarily as a decrease in resorption) in OW/OB adolescent girls and that this level of dairy product intake appears appropriate and should still be encouraged for this age group. We also demonstrated that adolescent girls, a group that usually does not sufficiently consume dairy products, also improved their BMI percentile and nutrient intake with the inclusion of dairy products in their diets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excess weight exerts the positive effect of mechanical loading on bone during development whereas obesity-related metabolic dysfunction may have a detrimental impact. In adults, the presence of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes has been associated with compromised bone density, quality, and strength, and an increased incidence of fractures. The few studies that have investigated the role of cardio-metabolic disease risk biomarkers (CMR) on bone strength in children have given conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the combined and independent relationships of cardio-metabolic biomarkers with total body and regional bone parameters in young girls. METHODS In 306, 9-12 year old girls, measures of whole body fat and lean mass, areal bone mineral density (aBMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone area (BA) were obtained by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Bone mineral density (vBMD), geometry, and strength of metaphyseal and diaphyseal regions of the femur and tibia and a diaphyseal region of the radius were measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Fasting serum measures of CMRs included, fasting glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Multiple linear regression was used to assess the independent associations of a single CMR with total body and peripheral measures of bone strength after controlling for the other CMRs, plus total body soft tissue, and other relevant covariates. Also, a standardized total CMR composite score, calculated by standardizing to z-scores and then summing z-scores of each CMR biomarker, was regressed with total body and regional bone measures to assess the relationship of a cluster of risk factors with bone health. RESULTS Total CMR composite score had inverse associations (p < 0.001) with DXA total BMC and BA. Inverse associations (p < 0.05) of CMR risk score with pQCT regional bone measures occurred with total and trabecular BA at the 4% tibia. Of the individual CMRs, HOMA-IR and CRP were significant predictors of total body bone measures by DXA accounting for ~1-5% of the variance in BMC, BA, and/or aBMD. HOMA-IR was the main predictor of regional pQCT bone outcomes, accounting for the most variance in trabecular vBMD (2.6%) and BSI (3.8%) at the 4% tibia. Most markers of dyslipidemia (TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) and hypertension (SBP, DBP) were not associated (p > 0.05) with any total body or regional bone outcomes with the exception of the inverse relationship of LDL-C with total and trabecular BA and the positive relationship of DBP with cortical vBMD at the radius. CONCLUSION Of the obesity-related metabolic impairments, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation may compromise whole body bone development in young girls. In particular, trabecular bone, such as that found at the metaphysis of long bones, may be more susceptible to the detrimental effects associated with obesity-related metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
AIMS The objectives of this study were to investigate relationships of inflammation and adiposity with bone mineral density (BMD) in youth with type 1 diabetes followed prospectively for 18 months. METHODS Participants were youth with type 1 diabetes (n = 136, 8-16.9 years) enrolled in an 18-month behavioral nutrition intervention trial. BMD of the total body, subtotal, lumbar spine, pelvis leg, arm and rib, percent body fat and percent trunk fat (by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) and C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, were assessed at baseline, 12 and 18 months. Linear mixed-effects models estimated associations of time-varying BMD with time-varying CRP, and with percent body and trunk fat. RESULTS CRP was inversely associated with BMD of the total body, pelvis and leg (n = 136). Percent body fat was inversely associated with BMD of the total body and pelvis; whereas percent trunk fat was related only to total body BMD. CONCLUSIONS Greater inflammation and adiposity were related to lower BMD in youth with type 1 diabetes. Investigating the impact of inflammation and adiposity on bone turnover markers could provide insights on mechanisms that contribute to this relationship.

Abstract
The effects of obesity on bone metabolism are complex, and may be mediated by consumption of a high fat diet and/or by obesity-induced metabolic dysregulation. To test the hypothesis that both high fat (HF) diet and diet-induced metabolic disease independently decrease skeletal acquisition, we compared effects of HF diet on bone mass and microarchitecture in two mouse strains: diet-induced obesity (DIO)-susceptible C57BL/6J (B6) and DIO-resistant FVB/NJ (FVB). At 3 wks of age we weaned 120 female FVB and B6 mice onto normal (N, 10% Kcal/fat) or HF diet (45% Kcal/fat) and euthanized them at 6, 12 and 20 weeks of age (N = 10/grp). Outcomes included body mass; percent fat and whole-body bone mineral density (WBBMD, g/cm2) via DXA; cortical and trabecular bone architecture at the midshaft and distal femur via μCT; and marrow adiposity via histomorphometry. In FVB HF, body mass, percent body fat, WBBMD and marrow adiposity did not differ vs. N, but trabecular bone mass was lower at 6 wks of age only (p < 0.05), cortical bone geometric properties were lower at 12 wks only, and bone strength was lower at 20 wks of age only in HF vs. N (p < 0.05). In contrast, B6 HF had higher body mass, percent body fat, and leptin vs. N. B6 HF also had higher WBBMD (p < 0.05) at 9 and 12 wks of age but lower distal femur trabecular bone mass at 12 wks of age, and lower body mass-adjusted cortical bone properties at 20 wks of age compared to N (p < 0.05). Marrow adiposity was also markedly higher in B6 HF vs. N. Overall, HF diet negatively affected bone mass in both strains, but was more deleterious to trabecular bone microarchitecture and marrow adiposity in B6 than in FVB mice. These data suggest that in addition to fat consumption itself, the metabolic response to high fat diet independently alters skeletal acquisition in obesity.

Abstract
Lean body mass (LM) has been positively associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents, but the relationship between body fat mass (FM) and BMD remains controversial. Several biomarkers secreted by adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, or bone may affect bone metabolism and BMD. We investigated the associations of LM, FM, and such biomarkers with BMD in children. We studied a population sample of 472 prepubertal Finnish children (227 girls, 245 boys) aged 6-8years. We assessed BMD, LM, and FM using whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and analysed several biomarkers from fasting blood samples. We studied the associations of LM, FM, and the biomarkers with BMD of the whole body excluding the head using linear regression analysis. LM (standardized regression coefficient β=0.708, p<0.001), FM (β=0.358, p<0.001), and irisin (β=0.079, p=0.048) were positive correlates for BMD adjusted for age, sex, and height in all children. These associations remained statistically significant after further adjustment for LM or FM. The positive associations of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), leptin, free leptin index, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and the negative association of leptin receptor with BMD were explained by FM. The positive associations of DHEAS and HOMA-IR with BMD were also explained by LM. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was a positive correlate for BMD adjusted for age, sex, and height and after further adjustment for FM but not for LM. LM and FM were positive correlates for BMD also in girls and boys separately. In girls, insulin, HOMA-IR, leptin, and free leptin index were positively and leptin receptor was negatively associated with BMD adjusted for age, height, and LM. After adjustment for age, height, and FM, none of the biomarkers was associated with BMD. In boys, leptin and free leptin index were positively and leptin receptor was negatively associated with BMD adjusted for age, height, and LM. After adjustment for age, height and FM, 25(OH)D was positively and IGF-1 and leptin were negatively associated with BMD. FM strongly modified the association between leptin and BMD. LM but also FM were strong, independent positive correlates for BMD in all children, girls, and boys. Irisin was positively and independently associated with BMD in all children. The associations of other biomarkers with BMD were explained by LM or FM.

Abstract
High leptin concentration, low-grade inflammation, and insulin resistance often coexist in obese subjects; this adverse metabolic milieu may be the main culprit for increased fracture risk and impaired bone quality seen in patients with type 2 diabetes. We examined the associations of leptin, hs (high sensitivity)- CRP and insulin resistance with bone turnover markers (BTMs) and bone characteristics in 55 young obese adults (median BMI 40 kg/m2) and 65 non-obese controls. Mean age of the subjects was 19.5 ± 2.5 years (mean ± SD). Concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, hs-CRP, MMP-8 and TIMP-1, fasting plasma glucose and insulin (to calculate HOMA), BTMs (BAP, P1NP, CTX-1, and TRAC5b) were measured. Bone characteristics were determined with pQCT at radius and tibia, and with DXA for central sites. Leptin, hs-CRP and HOMA correlated inversely with BTMs: the partial coefficients were 1.5–1.9 fold higher in males than in females. After adjusting for age, BMI, and other endocrine factors, leptin displayed an independent effect in males on radial bone mass (p = 0.019), tibial trabecular density (p = 0.025) and total hip BMD (p = 0.043), with lower densities in males with high leptin. In females, the model adjusting for age, BMI, and other endocrine factors, revealed that hs-CRP had independent effects on radial bone mass (p = 0.034) and lumbar spine BMD (p = 0.016), women with high hs-CRP having lower values. Partial correlations of adiponectin and TIMP-1 with bone characteristics were discrepant; MMP-8 showed no associations. In conclusion, in young obese adults and their controls, leptin, hs-CRP and HOMA associate inversely with BTMs and bone characteristics. Leptin appears to be the key independent effector in males, whereas hs-CRP displayed a predominant role in females.

OBJECTIVE This study examines the differences in bone mineral density between normal-weight children and children with overweight or obesity. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies (published up to 22 June 2016) on the differences in bone mineral density between normal-weight children and overweight and obese children was performed. Results were pooled when possible and mean differences (MDs) were calculated between normal-weight and overweight and normal-weight and obese children for bone content and density measures at different body sites. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies, with a total of 5,958 children, were included. There was moderate and high quality of evidence that overweight (MD 213 g; 95% confidence interval [CI] 166, 261) and obese children (MD 329 g; 95%CI [229, 430]) have a significantly higher whole body bone mineral content than normal-weight children. Similar results were found for whole body bone mineral density. Sensitivity analysis showed that the association was stronger in girls. CONCLUSIONS Overweight and obese children have a significantly higher bone mineral density compared with normal-weight children. Because there was only one study included with a longitudinal design, the long-term impact of childhood overweight and obesity on bone health at adulthood is not clear.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although depression has been associated to worst bone physical properties in adulthood, this study showed that depressive symptoms were not significantly associated to bone mineral density measured at the forearm during adolescence. PURPOSE Depressive conditions have been related to the reduction of bone mineral density (BMD) in adulthood. Though it is possible to hypothesize that depressive symptoms present similar effects in bone mineral accrual during adolescence, such association is poorly researched. Therefore, we aimed to study the relation between depressive symptoms and forearm BMD during adolescence. METHODS The study is based on the Epidemiological Health Investigation of Teenagers cohort that sampled adolescents born in 1990 and enrolled in public and private schools of Porto during the 2003/2004 academic year. At baseline (n = 2,160) and at 17 years of age (n = 1,716), depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). BMD (grams per square centimetre) was measured at the non-dominant forearm using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Sex-specific crude and adjusted linear regression coefficients (β) and the corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were calculated to estimate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between depressive symptoms and forearm BMD. RESULTS In both sexes, in early and late adolescence, depressive symptoms presented no statistically significant association with forearm BMD (β Girls13 = 0.09, 95 % CI = -0.43 to 0.61; β Girls17 = 0.10, 95 % CI = -0.43 to 0.64; β Boys13 = -0.10, 95 % CI = -0.96 to 0.76; β Boys17 = 0.49, 95 % CI = -0.96 to 1.93). Similarly, there were no significant associations between depressive symptoms and the annual forearm BMD change during adolescence in girls and boys (β Girls_BDI-II_13-17_remained_lowest = -0.85, 95 % CI = -4.62 to 2.92 vs. β Girls_BDI-II_13-17_remained_highest = -1.87, 95 % CI = -5.06 to 1.31; β Boys_BDI-II_13-17_remained_lowest = 0.48, 95 % CI = -5.30 to 6.26 vs. β Boys_BDI-II_13-17_remained_highest = 1.36, 95 % CI = -3.25 to 5.97). CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms, with the range of severity observed in the general adolescent population, were not associated with changes in forearm bone mineral density during adolescence. Further research based on measurements of different skeletal sites is needed in order to detect a systemic effect of depression on growing bone.
