Spine bone mineral density

1. Resistance training increases spine bone mineral density in humans (0.62%).

   “evidenced a positive effect on the BMD at the hip (0.64%) and spine (0.62%) but not in the femoral neck (-0.22%) regardless of the intervention length.”

1. Vegetarian diet has no effect on spine bone mineral density in humans.

   “The BMD at the spine was similar between vegetarians and omnivores.”

1. Sarcopenic obesity decreases spine bone mineral density in humans (P < 0.05).

   “Sarcopenic obese and dynapenic obese men had lower spine and total body BMD, respectively, and sarcopenic obese women had lower total hip BMD, compared with obese alone (all P < 0.05).”
