Relationship between visceral adipose tissue and bone mineral density in Australian baby boomers
Adiposity has a complex relationship with bone health. In 4865 Australian baby boomers (2642 females) aged 45–70 years, we found that higher visceral adipose tissue mass is associated with reduced bone density...

Constant water table sub-irrigation of pots allows derivation of root weights (without physical recovery) and repeated measures of in situ growth and water use efficiencies
We examined novel ways of non-destructively measuring root weight, plant growth and water use efficiencies to improve the detection of treatment effects in plant phenoty** in pot culture.

Discordance between fat mass index and body mass index is associated with reduced bone mineral density in women but not in men: the Busselton Healthy Ageing Study
The obesity-BMD relationship is complex. In 3045 middle-aged adults, we found that in women (but not men) with discordant fat mass index (FMI)/BMI categories, higher body fat for BMI was associated with lower ...
