Popis: BackgroundPrevious studies have reported a close relationship between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD). However, the effects of fat on bone mass remain controversial, particularly for fat tissue distribution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between regional fat percentage and BMD using a population-based database.MethodsThis study included participants who were referred to the Department of Radio Diagnosis for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan from January 2018 to December 2020. The relationships between BMI and regional fat percentage with BMD were assessed using multiple linear regression and generalized additive models. The risk of low bone mass was determined using logistic regression.ResultsThere was a negative relationship between the regional fat percentage and femoral neck BMD (FN BMD) or lumbar spine BMD (LS BMD) in both genders (p
