Answer:

Explanation: Body weight is directly associated with bone mineral density (BMD). A low body mass index (BMI) has been identified as an important risk factor for lower BMD and predicts greater bone loss in older age (118, 138) and in younger persons in the absence of menses and/or an eating disorder (113).

Hope it helps!
