The importance of evaluating body composition with dual-energy x ray absorptiometry in men: the structure of the aging mens's bones (STRAMBO) study

In recent years, many study groups focused their attention on men's health, such as the Osteoporotic Fractures in Older Men Study (MrOS) (1), the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) (2), the Hypogonadism in Males (HIM) Study (3), and the Structure of the Aging Men's Bones (STRAMBO) Study (4). Analysis of large cohorts of men allows investigation of various pathophysiological and clinical features of the major diseases, and is even useful for new research and discoveries. This is the case of the article “Age-Related Changes in Fat Mass and Distribution in Men—the Cross-sectional STRAMBO Study,” in which the authors refined their knowledge about fat mass in men, trying to fill a little the lack of knowledge about obesity and its features.
