Trabecular Bone Morphology Correlates With Skeletal Maturity and Body Composition in Healthy Adolescent Girls.

ABSTRACT: Context:Growth in healthy children is associated with changes in bone density and microarchitecture. Trabecular morphology is an additional important determinant of bone strength, but little is currently known about trabecular morphology in healthy young people. Objective:To investigate associations of trabecular morphology with increasing maturity and with body composition in healthy girls. Design:Cross-sectional study. Setting:Academic research center. Participants:Eighty-six healthy girls aged 9 to 18 years. Main Outcome Measures:High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography and individual trabecula segmentation were used to assess volumetric bone density, microarchitecture, and trabecular morphology (plate-like vs rod-like) at the distal radius and tibia. Results:Plate-like bone volume divided by total volume (pBV/TV) increased statistically significantly at the tibia (R = 0.41, P < 0.001), whereas rod-like BV/TV (rBV/TV) decreased statistically significantly at both the radius and tibia (R = -0.34, P = 0.003 and R = -0.28, P = 0.008, respectively) with increasing bone age. In multivariable models, lean mass positively correlated with pBV/TV and plate number at the radius and with plate thickness at both sites. In contrast, fat mass negatively correlated with plate thickness at the tibia and plate surface at both sites. In addition, fat mass positively correlated with rBV/TV and number at the tibia. pBV/TV at both the distal radius and tibia was positively correlated with spine bone mineral density. Conclusions:Increasing maturity across late childhood and adolescence is associated with changes in trabecular morphology anticipated to contribute to bone strength. Body composition correlates with trabecular morphology, suggesting that muscle mass and adiposity in youth may contribute to long-term skeletal health.

Project description:Understanding factors related to girls' body image discrepancy, which is the difference between self-perceived current or actual and ideal body size, is important for addressing body-related issues and preventing adverse sequelae. Two aims were to: 1) examine demographic differences in body image discrepancy; and 2) determine the association of body image discrepancy with weight status, percent body fat, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and cardiovascular (CV) fitness among young adolescent girls.The cross-sectional study included a secondary analysis of baseline data from a group randomized controlled trial including 1519 5th-8th grade girls in 24 U.S. schools. Girls completed physical activity and sedentary behavior surveys. To indicate perceived current/actual and ideal body image, girls selected from nine body figures the one that represented how they look now and another showing how they want to look. Girls wore accelerometers measuring physical activity. Height, weight, and percent body fat were assessed. The Progressive Aerobic CV Endurance Run was used to estimate CV fitness. Independent t-test, one- and two-way ANOVA, correlational analyses, and hierarchical linear regressions were performed.The majority (67.5%; n?=?1023) chose a smaller ideal than current/actual figure. White girls had higher body image discrepancy than Black girls (p?=?.035). Body image discrepancy increased with increasing weight status (F3,1506?=?171.32, p?<?.001). Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and vigorous physical activity were negatively correlated with body image discrepancy (r?=?-.10, p?<?.001; r?=?-.14, p?<?.001, respectively), but correlations were not significant after adjusting for race and body mass index (BMI), respectively. Body image discrepancy was moderately correlated with CV fitness (r?=?-.55, p?<?.001). After adjusting for demographics, percent body fat, but not CV fitness or MVPA, influenced body image discrepancy. Girls with higher percent body fat had higher body image discrepancy (p?<?.001).This study provided important information to guide interventions for promoting a positive body image among girls.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01503333 , registration date: January 4, 2012.

Project description:BackgroundDietary diversity, a qualitative measure of dietary intake, which reflects the variety of foods consumed has been recommended to assuage nutritional problems related to insufficient micronutrients, and food insecurity. To better understand the underlying factors for poor birth outcomes in Ghana, we assessed factors associated with dietary diversity among rural and urban pregnant adolescents in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.MethodsAs part of a larger longitudinal cohort of 416 pregnant adolescents, the FAO minimum dietary diversity for women index was used to determine the dietary diversity score (DDS) of the participants from a previous days' 24-hour dietary recall data. The household hunger scale (HHS) and lived poverty index (LPI) were used to determine hunger and socioeconomic status. Eating behavior and socio-demographic data were gathered using interviewer-administered questionnaires.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 17.5 (±1.4) years with an MDD-W of 4.4 and 56% recording inadequate MDD score. More rural (63.6%) than urban dwellers (50.6%) had inadequate DDS (p = 0.008). Among all the multiple variables tests of associations on dietary diversity, only hunger status (p = 0.028) and both food aversion and poverty status (p = 0.003) had a significant effect on the adolescents' dietary diversity. Rural dwelling adolescents (AOR = 1.7, p = 0.035, 95% CI = 1.0-2.6) recorded higher odds for inadequate DD compared with the urban respondents. Pregnant adolescents with severe hunger had higher odds (Unadjusted OR = 1.9, p = 0.053, 95% CI 1.1-3.8) for inadequate dietary diversity compared with those with no hunger.ConclusionsInadequate DD is common among pregnant adolescents in this study and is associated with rural living, food insecurity, poverty, and food craving. Livelihood support for pregnant teenagers and nutrition education are recommended interventions to improve dietary quality and limit the consequences of poor dietary diversity.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is an NAD+ precursor that boosts cellular NAD+ concentrations. Preclinical studies have shown profound metabolic health effects after NR supplementation. OBJECTIVES:We aimed to investigate the effects of 6 wk NR supplementation on insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and other metabolic health parameters in overweight and obese volunteers. METHODS:A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover intervention study was conducted in 13 healthy overweight or obese men and women. Participants received 6 wk NR (1000 mg/d) and placebo supplementation, followed by broad metabolic phenotyping, including hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, muscle biopsies, and assessment of ex vivo mitochondrial function and in vivo energy metabolism. RESULTS:Markers of increased NAD+ synthesis-nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide and methyl nicotinamide-were elevated in skeletal muscle after NR compared with placebo. NR increased body fat-free mass (62.65% ± 2.49% compared with 61.32% ± 2.58% in NR and placebo, respectively; change: 1.34% ± 0.50%, P = 0.02) and increased sleeping metabolic rate. Interestingly, acetylcarnitine concentrations in skeletal muscle were increased upon NR (4558 ± 749 compared with 3025 ± 316 pmol/mg dry weight in NR and placebo, respectively; change: 1533 ± 683 pmol/mg dry weight, P = 0.04) and the capacity to form acetylcarnitine upon exercise was higher in NR than in placebo (2.99 ± 0.30 compared with 2.40 ± 0.33 mmol/kg wet weight; change: 0.53 ± 0.21 mmol/kg wet weight, P = 0.01). However, no effects of NR were found on insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, hepatic and intramyocellular lipid accumulation, cardiac energy status, cardiac ejection fraction, ambulatory blood pressure, plasma markers of inflammation, or energy metabolism. CONCLUSIONS:NR supplementation of 1000 mg/d for 6 wk in healthy overweight or obese men and women increased skeletal muscle NAD+ metabolites, affected skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine metabolism, and induced minor changes in body composition and sleeping metabolic rate. However, no other metabolic health effects were observed.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02835664.
