In young and middle-aged patients with MetS, the abdominal fat volume was negatively correlated with lumbar bone Ca (water) and HAP (water) BMPs, implying that increased abdominal fat volume may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteopenia among those with MetS. The reduction of bone Ca (water) and HAP (water) with high abdominal fat volume may hold clinical significance for fracture risk in individuals with MetS.
