External skeletal robustness and adiposity in adolescents of low socioeconomic status: A cross-sectional analysis of body composition.
Pablo A LizanaAlonso Hormazabal-PeraltaPublished in: American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council (2019)
The results of this investigation suggest that obesity increases external skeletal robustness in adolescents. Additionally, lower SES corresponded to higher BF% and Frame-Index values. Therefore, modern conditions that influence the prevalence of obesity in adolescence could be affecting bone health in adolescents, primarily in females of medium-low SES.
