Abstract
PURPOSE: Osteocalcin is considered as a bone-derived hormone affecting on the body fat distribution and body mass index. Several cross-sectional studies have investigated the association between serum osteocalcin and body mass index. The aim of this study was to summarize the evidence on the relationship between serum osteocalcin and body mass index. METHODS: We conducted a complete search up to November 2016 in PubMed and SCOPUS and reviewed reference list of all relevant articles and reviews. The DerSimonian-Laird method were used to pool effect sizes of eligible studies. The potential sources of heterogeneity were assessed using the standard χ 2 test.To find possible the sources of between-study heterogeneity, we carried out subgroup analyses based on sex, and type of study population. RESULTS: There was a significant inverse association in the overall result of this study between serum osteocalcin levels and BMI(r = -0.161; 95% CI: -0.197, -0.124, p < 0.000). In the subgroup analysis to find the sources of significant heterogeneity between-study, we observed that the type of the study population may be the source of between-study heterogeneity and the most correlation was seen in metabolic syndrome studies (r = -0.265; p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Findings from the available data indicated an overall significant inverse association between serum osteocalcin and body mass index. Further studies based on the type of study population are needed to better clarify these associations.
