Key result
Higher body fatness in growing female piglets was associated with significantly lower bone mineral content (5.07 g vs 5.62 g, P<0.01), bone mass, and cortical wall thickness compared to thinner piglets.
Absolute Event Rate: 5.07% vs 5.62%

Skiba et al. (2016) studied Body fatness and bone development (n=16). High body fatness (fat:lean mass ratio >0.12) vs. Low body fatness (fat:lean mass ratio <0.12) was evaluated on Bone mineral content (g) (p=<0.01). Higher body fatness in growing female piglets was associated with significantly lower bone mineral content (5.07 g vs 5.62 g, P<0.01), bone mass, and cortical wall thickness compared to thinner piglets.
