A new study has determined that the bones of people with high body fat are eight to nine percent weaker.A research team conducted advanced three-dimensional bone scans on 115 women aged 18 and 19 with normal (less than 32 percent) and high (greater than 32 percent) body fat. After adjusting for differences in muscle mass, they found that the overweight participants had less healthy bones.The exact mechanisms by which excess fat hinders bone strength are unclear.
