Use of allometry and skinfold thicknesses to estimate the fat mass of circumpubertal boys

Annals of Human Biology, 2020
Background: In the pubertal period, each part of the body grows at different rates. This makes the relationship between the parts nonlinear. Particularly, the fat mass (FM) of boys tends to decrease, further exacerbating the issue of linearity in growth.

Higher fracture prevalence and smaller bone size in patients with hEDS/HSD-a prospective cohort study

, 2020
Increased fracture risk in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes has been reported, but the reasons for it are incompletely understood. We aimed to investigate possible determinants of this increased risk and found that hEDS/HSD patients present with a ...
