TL;DR

In this cohort, the modern CD phenotype presents a preserved soft tissue composition, however, low BMD remains a persistent finding, particularly in premenopausal women, underscore the necessity of systematic DXA screening in adult CD patients, regardless of their body mass index or clinical presentation.

Comment on: Bone mineral density in pediatric celiac disease: Clinical, biochemical, and serologic profiles—a retrospective cohort study

Teke and Basaran published an exciting study in the latest issue of the journal. On utlizing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and referral to the Turkish pediatric bone mineral density reference curves (BMDRCs) (2), they found substantial BMD impairments (37.4%) among pediatric patients with celiac disease (CD)...

Sex-specific associations between DXA-derived arms fat-to-lean ratio and sarcopenia in Taiwanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study

Sarcopenia is an underrecognized yet clinically significant complication in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), influenced in part by adverse alterations in body composition such as myosteatosis. This study examined sex-specific associations between regional fat-to-lean ratios, measured by dual-energy...

DXA-Derived Body Composition Phenotypes in Men with Chronic Hepatitis C

Background: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is associated with persistent inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and body composition abnormalities that extend beyond liver disease. However, the coexistence of reduced muscle mass, occult obesity, and altered fat distribution remains poorly characterized. This study evaluated D...

EXPRESS: Vitamin D variability might be linked to sarcopenia, especially with decreased muscle mass in older patients: a retrospective longitudinal study.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between variations in vitamin D levels, sarcopenia, and the fat-free mass index (FFMI) in individuals 65 years of age and above. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 215 individuals aged ≥65 years who were followed at a geriatric out...
