Increased fat mass is associated with increased bone size but reduced volumetric density in pre pubertal children.
Recent studies have shown that obesity is associated with an increased risk of fracture in both adults and children. It has been suggested that, despite greater bone size, obese individuals may have reduced true volumetric density; however this is difficult to assess using two dimensional techniques...
