@NutritionMadeS3 @ThomasRoth91 @Retlouping Here is the nature of hip fractures and BMI from this meta analysis: https://t.co/tJCaFlRufi As you can see, the risk is not linear. The lower you get, at some point there is an exponentially increasing risk of fracture. https://t.co/J99uBXqOK7

What people are saying
The discussions reflect a nuanced debate, with some posts supporting the idea that lower BMI increases fracture risk, while others highlight the complexity and non-linearity, as shown in terms like 'exponentially increasing risk' and 'relation is quite complicated.' Words like 'opposite' and 'not linear' signal critical engagement and differing interpretations, illustrating a thoughtful but divided response to the article.
Posts show mixed opinions about the relationship between BMI and fracture risk; some support the study's findings, while others dispute or complicate them.
Discussions focus on a specific health topic, indicating moderate interest, especially in understanding the nuances of BMI and fracture risk.
The posts reference the article's findings and question linearity, showing a moderate level of analytical engagement.
The conversations could influence perceptions about health risks and clinical considerations, suggesting a notable but not transformational impact.
Abstract in brief
- Low body mass index (BMI) is strongly associated with an increased risk of fractures, especially at lower BMI levels, and this relationship is consistent across different genders and ages.
- The study found that without considering bone mineral density (BMD), the fracture risk rises significantly as BMI decreases, with a more pronounced effect observed at very low BMI values, particularly for hip fractures.
- After adjusting for BMD, the link between BMI and fracture risk diminishes, indicating BMD plays a crucial role in mediating this relationship; notably, very low BMI (around 20 kg/m^2) nearly doubles the risk of hip fracture compared to a BMI of 25.

@MariusCrypt0 @RandyMa91389731 @SBakerMD actually the relation between BMI and fracture risk is quite complicated. In general, lower BMI does result in a higher risk of fracture. https://t.co/XnQbypNFFR
