Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a common disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Interestingly, osteoporosis and obesity have several similar features, including a genetic predisposition and a common bone marrow stem cell. With aging, the composition of bone marrow shifts to adipocytes, osteoclast activity increases, and osteoblast function declines, resulting in osteoporosis.
