ABSTRACT

Although the protective effect of obesity on bone mass has been ascribed to high body fat content, this is still controversial. The present study of 215 post-- menopausal Japanese women investigated whether circulating leptin concentration was correlated with per cent fat mass or age-adjusted bone mineral density (Z-score).

In this study population, the mean circulating leptin concent...
