- Abstract
The article describes a study which examined the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations between percent fat mass (PFM) and bone parameters among both sexes aged 13 to 21 years from a Chinese twin cohort. It shows that the estimated heritabilities were 80% to 86% for bone mineral content (BMC), 67% to 80% bone area (BA), 74% to 77% for cross-sectional area (CSA), and 64% for section modulus (SM). It concludes that the inverse association of PFM with BA, BMC, and hip geometry in both genders are due to shared genetic and environmental factors.
