DENSITOMETRY IN CHILDREN WITH OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY

Аннотация

106 children with overweight and obesity, as well as 30 children with normal body weight were examined. A densitometric study was carried out using X-ray densitometry. It was revealed that the most common pathology of bone mineral density occurred in the distal forearm - radius and ulna, then in the lumbar spine (L1 - L4), while the proximal femur, namely in the neck of the tibia, was involved in the pathological process most recently. , while the highest pathological indicators were observed in the group of children with obesity, especially those with grade 3 obesity.
