对 32 名肥胖受试者的第二掌骨中部和桡骨近端部分的皮质内径和外径进行了测量。与年龄匹配的对照组相比，结果显示，肥胖受试者的皮质面积平均比对照组大 11%（p 小于 0.05）。皮质面积的增加是由测量的骨骼外径更大引起的。各组之间的内径没有显着差异。肥胖者和对照者的内径随着年龄的增长而增加，这表明肥胖者不能以骨内膜吸收的形式预防骨质疏松症。
The inner and outer diameters of the cortex have been measured in 32 obese subjects in the middle of the second metacarpal bone and in the proximal part of radius. The results, which were compared with an age-matched control group, showed that the obese subjects had, on an average, an 11 percent larger cortical area than the controls (p smaller than 0.05). The increased cortical area was caused by the greater outer diameter of the measured bones. There were no significant differences in inner diameters betwee the groups. The inner diameters increased with age in the same way in both obese and control persons, indicating the the former are not protected against osteoporosis in the form of endosteal resorption.
