Introduction: Traditionally, obesity is thought to exert a positive impact on bone mineral density (BMD). However, the effect of adipose tissue on bone health is under investigation. Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a measure of bone texture, providing information on bone quality and microarchitecture, independently of BMD. Lower values of TBS indicate a worsening in bone quality and amplify fracture risk. Herein, we aimed to investigate the association of body composition and b...
