The bone mineral density (BMD) of 56 children with simple obesity (BMI>24 for males (n=34), >23 for females (n=22), aged from 6 to 16 years) was investigated using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The BMD of the whole skeleton, legs, pelvis, and lumbar spine (L2-4) was significantly increased in obese children compared with nonobese children (38 males and 42 females, aged from 4 to 17 years), while the arms showed no significant difference between the two groups. This regional inequality of the increased BMD in obese children wasprobably due to the physical stimulation of weight bearing.
