Abstract
Obese children had a minor but statistically significant decreased odds of fracture relative to children with a normal BMI, but no association was observed in overweight children. However, underweight children were found to be at an increased odds of fracture. This study suggests that overweight and obese children do not have increased odds of extremity fracture.
