Early-life nutritional status as a determinant of bone density and hip joint morphology in children (opens in new tab)

BackgroundEarly childhood is an important period of skeletal development during which nutritional exposures can affect mineral accretion and joint morphology. Nonetheless, few studies have compared bone mineral density (BMD) and hip joint morphology in children.ObjectivesThe aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between the nutritional status of children at an early age and the BMD and morphology of hip joints in children.MethodsIt was a retrospective cohort study of 550 childre...
