The combined relationship of vitamin D and weight-bearing sports participation on areal bone density and geometry among adolescents: ABCD-growth study
ED de Lima Mesquita, IN Exupério… - Journal of Clinical …, 2022 - Elsevier
Osteoporosis is a public health problem, which negatively impacts society and national
health services worldwide. Altered mineralization of the skeleton can be caused by
persistent vitamin D deficiency. However, the combined impact of both on bone health is still
under investigation. In fact, although there is compelling evidence in the literature about the
positive effect of weight-bearing sports participation on bone mineral density, its impact on
bone geometry gains more attention in pediatric population. The sports modalities that we …
