Associations of obesity defined comprehensively by body mass index and body fat percentage with osteopenia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore the association of obesity comprehensively defined by Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat percentage (BF%) with osteopenia.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, data of adult men and postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years old were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database. Weighted logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the association of BF% obesity with osteopenia in participants who had different gender and BMI obesity conditions. The association of obesity comprehensively evaluated by BMI and BF% with osteopenia was also explored in the total population and in gender subgroups.
resultsAmong 1720 eligible subjects, 1054 had osteopenia. Multivariate analysis suggested that in males, BMI obesity combined with BF% obesity was associated with higher osteopenia odds compared to BMI obesity only (Odds Ratio [OR = 4.01], 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI 1.43‒11.27]). Compared to participants with both BMI and BF% obesity, those with BMI obesity have lower osteopenia odds (OR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.28‒0.76), whereas those with BF% obesity have higher odds of osteopenia (OR = 2.03, 95% CI 1.35‒3.05, p = 0.002). In females, compared to BMI obesity combined with BF% obesity, BF% obesity (OR = 3.37, 95% CI 1.47‒7.73) or non-obesity (OR = 2.11, 95% CI 1.18‒3.75) was respectively associated with higher osteopenia odds. In males, BMI obesity was linked to lower osteopenia odds compared to both BMI and BF% obesity (OR = 0.25, 95% CI 0.10‒0.62).
conclusionsThe comprehensively assessed obesity by BMI and BF% may be more meaningful in the evaluation of potential osteopenia risk, as well as further prevention and intervention of osteoporosis.
