But a pooled analysis published last year found that body mass was associated with ovarian cancer only in premenopausal women, who are at very low risk to begin with.
Greater herbage mass was associated with the greater intake and subsequent greater milk production.
The increase in bone mass was associated with increased bone formation measured by serum bone formation markers, P1NP and surface-based bone formation rate, BFR/BS.
Although male body mass was associated with male competition for mates as measured by mass dimorphism, mating system and female promiscuity were not.
The investigators reported that a higher bone mass was associated with higher surface-based bone formation rates that were assessed in 24-week-old PRKO mice compared to control animals.
Increased fat mass was associated with adverse hip cartilage changes for females, while increased fat free mass was associated with beneficial cartilage changes for both genders.
Higher lean body mass, a reflection of higher muscle mass, was associated with lower mortality.
In contrast, increased fat-free mass was associated with increased femoral head cartilage volume in men.
The decrease in lean mass was associated with the rate of urinary corticosterone excretion.
After blunt trauma, higher body mass was associated with increased morbidity [ 6].
Decrease in lean body mass was associated with the rate of urinary corticosterone excretion.
