My last PhD paper has just been published!

In this study, we found that waist circumference could provide both independent and additive information to BMI for the identification of individuals at risk of #obesity-related #fractures.

Our study is out online!

A recent study in #JBMRPlus aims to evaluate the relationships between obesity, defined using body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC), and fracture incidence at any site and by skeletal site #OpenAccess @AF_Turcotte @SuzanneMorinQc @WileyHealth

Finally in Denmark for the DDA Summer School! Can’t wait to learn more about diabetes and make new connections with PIs and PhD students from Denmark and abroad.
Thank you @rrcmdo for the opportunity!

Yesterday I had the chance to present my research on #obesity and #fractures at the #ECO2022 press conference, in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
A press article was also published👇🏼

Glad I could attend this year’s meeting in person, thank you #ASBMR2021 for the Young Investigator Travel Grant! Congratulations to all presenters for your incredible work, this meeting gives true motivation to pursue research every year!
Can’t wait for next year @ASBMR!

[Anne-Frédérique Turcotte @AF_Turcotte]

Happy to present today my newly published systematic review and meta-analysis on obesity, fracture risk and bone health at ASBMR 2021 Symposium: Biology of the Aging Skeleton. I’ll also be presenting on Sunday 1-3pm (poster SUN-216)!
Thank you #ASBMR2021 for the opportunity!

Increase in bioactive #osteocalcin may be associated with improvement in #insulin #sensitivity after bariatric surgery, independently of weight loss.

Our study lends support to the existence of an endocrine relation between #bone and #glucose #metabolism.

Our systematic review and meta-analysis is finally out!

Been working on this paper for the past 18 months. Thanks to all coauthors for their support.

Very proud to publish this great work in @PLOSONE!

Had a great time @ASBMR !
A 18-month multi-component #exercise program is effective to improve lumbar spine trab #vBMD and #muscle CSA in older men.
Thanks @daly_prof for the collaboration #ASBMR2019
