Objectives: To investigate whether bone health outcomes (volumetric bone mineral density, geometry and strength) is associated with adiposity and muscle in late childhood.Methods: Design: Population-based cross-sectional study nested within the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Participants: 11–12 year-olds attending the Child Health CheckPoint physical module. Exposures: Measures of adiposity (BMI z-score, fat ma...

Objectives: Activity duration and the daily patterns of activity during childhood and adolescence could contribute to long-term bone health. We examined cross-sectional associations between 11 and 12 year old children’s bone health and (1) durations, (2) patterns, and (3) combined durations and patterns of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behaviour.Methods: Design: Population-based cross-sectional study nested within...
