Increased Bone Marrow Adiposity in a Context of Energy Deficit: The Tip of the Iceberg?

Abstract excerpt

Elevated bone marrow adiposity (BMA) is defined as an increase in the proportion of the bone marrow (BM) cavity volume occupied by adipocytes. This can be caused by an increase in the size and/or number of adipocytes. BMA increases with age in a bone-site-specific manner. This increase may be linked to certain pathophysiological situations.
