Abstract
Bariatric surgery is associated with a postoperative reduction of 25(OH) vitamin D levels (25(OH)D) and with skeletal complications. Currently, guidelines for 25(OH)D assessment and vitamin D supplementation in bariatric patients, pre- and post-surgery, are still lacking. The aim of this work is to analyse systematically the published experience on 25(OH)D status and vitamin D supplementation, pre- and post-surgery, and to propose, on this basis, recommendations for management. Preoperatively, 18 studies including 2,869 patients were evaluated. Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency as defined by 25(OH)D < 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) was 85%, whereas when defined by 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) was 57%. The median preoperative 25(OH)D level was 19.75 ng/mL. After surgery, 39 studies including 5,296 patients were analysed and among those undergoing either malabsorptive or restrictive procedures, a lower rate of vitamin D insufficiency and higher 25(OH)D levels postoperatively were observed in patients treated with high-dose oral vitamin D supplementation, defined as ≥ 2,000 IU/daily (mostly D3-formulation), compared with low-doses (< 2,000 IU/daily). Our recommendations based on this systematic review and meta-analysis should help clinical practice in the assessment and management of vitamin D status before and after bariatric surgery. Assessment of vitamin D should be performed pre- and postoperatively in all patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Regardless of the type of procedure, high-dose supplementation is recommended in patients after bariatric surgery.

Vitamin D and malabsorptive gastrointestinal conditions: A bidirectional relationship? Rev Endocr Metab Disord 2023; 24:121-138.

Abstract
This paper is one of the outcomes of the 5th International Conference "Controversies in Vitamin D" held in Stresa, Italy from 15 to 18 September 2021 as part of a series of annual meetings which was started in 2017. The scope of these meetings is to discuss controversial issues about vitamin D. Publication of the outcomes of the meeting in international journals allows a wide sharing of the most recent data with the medical and academic community. Vitamin D and malabsorptive gastrointestinal conditions was one of the topics discussed at the meeting and focus of this paper. Participants to the meeting were invited to review available literature on selected issues related to vitamin D and gastrointestinal system and to present their topic to all participants with the aim to initiate a discussion on the main outcomes of which are reported in this document. The presentations were focused on the possible bidirectional relationship between vitamin D and gastrointestinal malabsorptive conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and bariatric surgery. In fact, on one hand the impact of these conditions on vitamin D status was examined and on the other hand the possible role of hypovitaminosis D on pathophysiology and clinical course of these conditions was also evaluated. All examined malabsorptive conditions severely impair vitamin D status. Since vitamin D has known positive effects on bone this in turn may contribute to negative skeletal outcomes including reduced bone mineral density, and increased risk of fracture which may be mitigated by vitamin D supplementation. Due to the immune and metabolic extra-skeletal effects there is the possibility that low levels of vitamin D may negatively impact on the underlying gastrointestinal conditions worsening its clinical course or counteracting the effect of treatment. Therefore, vitamin D status assessment and supplementation should be routinely considered in all patients affected by these conditions. This concept is strengthened by the existence of a possible bidirectional relationship through which poor vitamin D status may negatively impact on clinical course of underlying disease. Sufficient elements are available to estimate the desired threshold vitamin D level above which a favourable impact on the skeleton in these conditions may be obtained. On the other hand, ad hoc controlled clinical trials are needed to better define this threshold for obtaining a positive effect of vitamin D supplementation on occurrence and clinical course of malabsorptive gastrointestinal diseases.

Adequate vitamin D supplementation does not ameliorate bone loss following long limb-biliopancreatic diversion in morbidly obese women. Hormones (Athens) 2021; 20:315-321. [PMID: 33155141 DOI: 10.1007/s42000-020-00254-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of adequate vitamin D supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) following long limb-biliopancreatic diversion (LL-BPD), a malabsorptive bariatric operation. BACKGROUND Marked weight loss following bariatric surgery is associated with significant decrease in BMD, attributed to the weight loss and to nutritional, mineral, and vitamin D deficiencies resulting in secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS Two groups, of 35 and 37 healthy, obese (BMI, 50.4 + 6.6 and 46.5 + 4.8 g/cm2), premenopausal, normally menstruating women underwent LL-BPD. Both groups received high-calcium diets, 600 IU of vitamin D, and 1000 mg elemental calcium daily, while group B received an extra dose of vitamin D (10,000 IU/day) during the first postoperative month, followed by dose adjustment in order to maintain 25OHD concentration higher than 30 μg/L. Areal BMD (aBMD) was measured at the lumbar spine preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS One year postoperatively, BMI decreased by approximately 19 kg/m2 in both groups, while 25-OH-vitamin D levels did not change in group A (18.7 + 9.1 to 20.2 + 13.0 μg/L, (p = 0.57)) and increased in group B (15.58 ± 5.73 to 52.97 ± 15.46 μg/L, (p = < 0.001). PTH levels increased in group A (from 38.5 ± 12.2 to 51.2 ± 32.8 pg/ml) (p = 0.047) and decreased in group B (from 51.61 ± 18.7 to 45.1 ± 17.8 pg/ml) (p = 0.042). Lumbar spine aBMD decreased similarly in both groups (p = 0.311, for the comparison between groups) from 1.198 + 0.14 to 1.103 + 0.15 g/cm2 in group A (p < 0.001) and from 1.157 + 0.14 to 1.076 + 0.14 g/cm2 in group B (p < 0.001) and Z-score from 0.93 + 0.97 to 0.19 + 1.02, (p < 0.001) and from 1.15 + 1.29 to 0.419 + 1.28, (p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS LL-BPD leads to similar and significant bone mass reduction 1 year postoperatively, irrespective of adequate vitamin D replacement and in the absence of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk factors, preventive treatment, and increased prevalence of fragility fractures in post-bariatric surgical patients have been researched, however, little is known about how patients' perspectives of osteoporosis risk determine their commitment to bone health. PURPOSE The purpose of this review was to provide an overview and appraisal of the research regarding osteoporosis in post bariatric surgical patients, as well as to identify gaps in the literature in this area. METHODS Data bases searched included OVID Medline, CINAHL, and EMBASE which included ahead of print articles that had not yet been indexed. Relevant key words were used independently and in combination: "osteoporosis," "morbid obesity," and "bariatric surgery." RESULTS A total of 24 quantitative studies and 15 qualitative studies were retrieved for this review; none of the qualitative studies examined both osteoporosis and bariatric surgery. CONCLUSION The current trend in bariatric surgical patients regarding osteoporosis is to examine the degree of bone loss based on significant influences including extent of weight loss, years since surgery, type of procedure performed, and subject selection. Patient perceptions about osteoporosis risk after bariatric surgery were rarely addressed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review outlines the recent findings regarding the impact of bariatric surgery on bone. It explores potential mechanisms for skeletal changes following bariatric surgery and strategies for management. RECENT FINDINGS Bone loss following bariatric surgery is multifactorial. Probable mechanisms include skeletal unloading, abnormalities in calciotropic hormones, and changes in gut hormones. Skeletal changes that occur after bariatric surgery are specific to procedure type and persist for several years post-operatively. Studies suggest that while bone loss begins early, fracture risk may be increased later in the post-operative course, particularly after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Further research is needed to assess the extent to which skeletal changes following bariatric surgery result in fragility. Current management should be geared toward prevention of bone loss, correction of nutritional deficiencies, and incorporation of weight bearing exercise. Pharmacologic treatment should be considered for high-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accelerated bone loss is a known complication after bariatric surgery. Bone mineral density has been shown to decrease significantly after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) effects on bone density are largely unknown. This should be considered for those with increased preoperative risk for bone loss, such as postmenopausal females. METHODS This prospective clinical trial included postmenopausal patients, with BMI ≥ 35 k/m2, being evaluated for either RYGB or SG. Patients with history of osteoporosis, estrogen hormone replacement therapy, active smoking, glucocorticoid use, or weight > 295 lb were excluded. Patients underwent DEXA scans preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively with measurement of total body bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) as well as regional site-specific BMD and BMC. RESULTS A total of 28 patients were enrolled. 16 (57.1%) patients underwent RYGB and 12 (42.9%) patients underwent SG. Median preoperative BMI was 44.2 k/m2 (IQR 39.9, 46.6). Median change in BMI at 12 months was - 11.3 k/m2 (IQR - 12.8, - 7.9). A significant reduction in total body BMC was seen when comparing preoperative measurements to postoperative measurements (2358.32 vs 2280.68 grams; p = 0.002). Regional site BMC and BMD significantly decreased in the ribs and spine postoperatively (p = < 0.02) representing the greatest loss in the axial skeleton. Comparing those who underwent RYGB to SG there was no significant difference between the two groups when evaluating changes in total or regional site BMD. CONCLUSION Postmenopausal women were found to have decreased BMD and BMC after RYGB and SG, suggesting that high-risk women may benefit from postoperative DEXA screening. Further study is needed to determine the clinical significance of these findings. It is unknown if these changes in BMD are due to modifiable factors (Vitamin D level, activity level, hormone status, etc.), and whether BMD and BMC is recovered beyond 1 year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated early and medium-term changes in bone turnover markers, and their associations with weight loss, total bone mineral density (BMD), and hormonal changes after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). METHODS Ancillary study from a one-year prospective cohort of 16 individuals assessed before, 3 days, 3 and 12 months after BPD. Bone turnover markers (C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), intact osteocalcin (OC), sclerostin, and osteoprotegerin (OPG)) and several hormones were measured at each visit. Total BMD by DXA was assessed at baseline, 3 and 12 months after BPD. Three participants were lost to follow-up. RESULTS CTX increased significantly at 3 days (+ 66%), 3 months (+ 219%), and 12 months (+ 295%). OC decreased at 3 days (- 19%) then increased at 3 months (+ 69%) and 12 months (+ 164%). Change in sclerostin was only significant between 3 days and 3 months (+ 13%), while change in OPG was significant between baseline and 3 days (+ 48%) and baseline and 12 months (+ 45%). CTX increase correlated negatively with weight loss at 3 (r = - 0.63, p = 0.009) and 12 months (r = - 0.58, p = 0.039), and total BMD decrease (r = - 0.67, p = 0.033) at 12 months. Change in insulin and adiponectin correlated with changes in bone turnover markers independently of weight loss. CONCLUSION BPD causes an earlier and greater increase in bone resorption over bone formation markers and a decrease in total BMD. Sclerostin did not increase as expected following extensive weight loss. Changes in insulin and adiponectin seem to play a role in the activation of bone remodeling after BPD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a well-established treatment for morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes. The effects of RYGB on bone metabolism and bone health are largely unknown. OBJECTIVE Determine the changes in osteoclast function and bone density 1 year after RYGB as compared with a control group undergoing a diabetes support and education program (DSE). DESIGN A prospective cohort study with patients matched for weight and age assigned to RYGB or DSE. SETTING Large academic institution. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and morbid obesity (body mass index greater than 35 kg/m2). INTERVENTION Subjects either received laparoscopic RYBG or DSE, which consisted of nutritional, exercise, and dietary counseling performed by a certified diabetic educator and a nutritionist three times over a year. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Osteoclast activity, bone mineral density. RESULTS One year after, intervention subjects undergoing RYGB have a 280% increase in osteoclast activity as compared with a 7.6% increase in the DSE control group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant increase in sclerostin levels in subjects undergoing RYGB compared with an increase in the control group. The total bone mineral density was statistically unchanged within 1 year of intervention in both groups. A statistically significant decrease in bone mineral density in the left ribs (decrease of 6.8%, P < 0.05) and lumbar spine (decrease of 4.0%, P < 0.05) was seen 1 year after RYGB. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant increase in osteoclast activity observed 1 year after RYGB; the long-term clinical implications of this increased bone metabolism are unknown.

Abstract
Obesity is one of the most serious worldwide epidemics of the twenty-first century according to the World Health Organization. Frequently associated with a number of comorbidities, obesity threatens and compromises individual health and quality of life. Bariatric surgery (BS) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment to achieve not only sustained weight loss but also significant metabolic improvement that goes beyond mere weight loss. The beneficial effects of BS on metabolic traits are so widely recognized that some authors have proposed BS as metabolic surgery that could be prescribed even for moderate obesity. However, most of the BS procedures imply malabsorption and/or gastric acid reduction which lead to nutrient deficiency and, consequently, further complications could be developed in the long term. In fact, BS not only affects metabolic homeostasis but also has pronounced effects on endocrine systems other than those exclusively involved in metabolic function. The somatotropic, corticotropic, and gonadal axes as well as bone health have also been shown to be affected by the various BS procedures. Accordingly, further consequences and complications of BS in the long term in systems other than metabolic system need to be addressed in large cohorts, taking into account each bariatric procedure before making generalized recommendations for BS. In this review, current data regarding these issues are summarized, paying special attention to the somatotropic, corticotropic, gonadal axes, and bone post-operative health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for morbid obesity but may reduce calcium absorption and significantly decrease the bone mineral density. This study examined the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in obese subjects during follow-up after different bariatric surgeries. We investigated predictors of SHPT. METHODS We enrolled 1470 obese subjects undergoing bariatric/metabolic surgery with at least 1-year follow-up, including 322 patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), 695 undergoing single anastomosis (mini-) gastric bypass (SAGB), 93 undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), and 360 undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Five years of data were available for 215 patients. Patients were instructed to supplement their diet according to the guideline. Calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D levels were measured before surgery and at 1 and 5 years after surgery. SHPT was defined as PTH > 69 pg/mL. RESULTS The overall prevalence of SHPT was high, 21.0% before surgery and was not different between patients with different bariatric procedures. Pre-operative PTH correlated with age, BMI, and vitamin D levels. Multi-variate analysis confirmed that vitamin D level was the only independent predictor of SHPT before surgery. The prevalence of SHPT increased to 35.4% at 1 year after surgery and 63.3% at 5 years after surgery. SAGB had the highest prevalence of SHPT (50.6%) followed by RYGB (33.2%), LAGB (25.8%), and SG (17.8%) at 1 year after surgery. At 5 years after surgery, SAGB still had the highest prevalence of SHPT (73.6%), followed by RYGB (56.6%), LAGB (38.5%), and SG (41.7%). Serum PTH at 1 year after surgery correlated with decreased BMI and weight loss. Multi-variate analysis confirmed that age, sex, calcium level, and bypass procedure were independent predictor of SHPT after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of SHPT is high in morbidly obese patients before bariatric surgery which is related to vitamin D deficiency. The prevalence of SHPT increased continually along with the time after bariatric surgery, especially in patients receiving SAGB, followed by RYGB. The supplementation of vitamin D and calcium have to be higher in bypass procedure, especially in malabsorptive procedure.

Abstract
The interaction between obesity and bone metabolism is complex. The effects of fat on the skeleton are mediated by both mechanical and biochemical factors. Though obesity is characterized by higher bone mineral density, studies conducted on bone microarchitecture have produced conflicting results. The majority of studies indicate that obesity has a positive effect on skeletal strength, even though most likely the effects are site-dependent and, in fact, obese individuals might be at risk of certain types of fractures. Mechanical loading and higher lean mass are associated with improved outcomes, whereas systemic inflammation, observed especially with abdominal obesity, may exert negative effects. Weight loss interventions likely lead to bone loss over time. Pharmacological treatment options seem to be safe in terms of skeletal health; however, the skeletal effects of bariatric surgery are dependent on the type of surgical procedure. Malabsorptive procedures are associated with higher short-term adverse effects on bone health. In this narrative review, we discuss the effects of obesity and weight loss interventions on skeletal health.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and its associated comorbidities. Following such a procedure, however, patients are at risk of developing metabolic bone disease owing to the combination of rapid weight loss, severely restricted dietary intake, and reduced intestinal nutrient absorption. Patients undergoing malabsorptive procedures are at a higher risk of postoperative bone health deterioration than those undergoing restrictive procedures; however, studies have demonstrated negative skeletal consequences of restrictive procedures as well. The clinical practice guidelines of some international associations have previously addressed preoperative evaluation and postoperative clinical care in order to maintain bone health in BS patients. Nevertheless, some issues regarding bone health in BS patients remain unclear owing to the lack of relevant randomized clinical trials, including doses of nutritional supplements pre- and post-BS. This review summarizes the current data regarding the skeletal consequences of BS and its mechanisms, with an emphasis on the preventive strategies and nutritional care that may be warranted in order to attenuate bone deterioration following BS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim of this study is to evaluate determinants of secondary normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism (SNHPT) persistence in patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on vertical-banded gastroplasty. METHODS 226 consecutive patients submitted to bariatric surgery were prospectively enrolled and divided in two groups on the basis of preoperative presence of SNHPT. For each patient, we evaluated anthropometric and laboratory parameters. Calcium metabolism (calcemia, PTH, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D serum levels) was studied before surgery and at 6-month intervals (6, 12, and 18 months) as surgical follow-up. RESULTS Based on presurgical SNHPT presence or absence, we defined group 1-201 patients and group 2-25 patients, respectively. Among the group 1, 153 (76%) recovered from this endocrinopathy within 6 months after surgery (group 3), while the remaining 48 patients (24%) had persistent SNHPT (group 4). Comparing the anthropometric and laboratory data of group 3 with group 2, the only statistically significant factor was the elapsed time since a prior effective medically controlled diet that led to a steady and substantial weight loss. We found also a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between group 3 and group 4 in term of % of weight loss and PTH levels. CONCLUSIONS Patients suitable for bariatric surgery must have history of at least one efficient medically controlled diet, not dating back more than 5 years before surgery. This elapsed time represent the cut-off time within which it is possible to recover from SNHPT in the first semester after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on vertical-banded gastroplasty. The treatment of vitamin D insufficiency and the evaluation of SNHPT before bariatric surgery should be recommended. The clinical significance of preoperative SNHPT and in particular SNHPT after bariatric surgery remains undefined and further studies are required.

Abstract
The long-term consequences of bariatric surgery on fracture risk are unclear but are likely to vary by procedure type. In physiologic studies, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and adjustable gastric banding (AGB) have differential effects on rates of bone loss. Therefore, our objective was to compare fracture risk in obese adults after RYGB and AGB procedures. Using claims data from a US commercial health plan, we analyzed rates of nonvertebral fractures within a propensity score-matched cohort (n = 15,032) of morbidly obese adults who received either RYGB or AGB surgery between 2005 and 2013. A total of 281 nonvertebral fractures occurred during a mean follow-up time of 2.3 ± 1.9 years. RYGB patients had an increased risk of nonvertebral fracture (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-1.81) compared with AGB patients. In fracture site-specific analyses, RYGB patients had increased risk of fracture at the hip (HR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.03-2.30) and wrist (HR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.01-2.07). Nonvertebral fracture risk associated with RYGB manifested >2 years after surgery and increased in subsequent years, with the highest risk in the fifth year after surgery (HR = 3.91, 95% CI 1.58-9.64). In summary, RYGB is associated with a 43% increased risk of nonvertebral fracture compared with AGB, with risk increasing >2 years after surgery. Fracture risk should be considered in risk/benefit discussions of bariatric surgery, particularly among patients with high baseline risk of osteoporosis who are deciding between RYGB and AGB procedures. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Most metabolic effects following bariatric surgery are favorable. One area in which the consequences seem to be detrimental is on skeletal health. Mechanisms that have been cited include malabsorption of calcium and vitamin D, decrease in mechanical loading, and changes in gastrointestinal and fat-derived hormone levels. It is important that the impact of these procedures on bone metabolism is closely examined. The significance of the bone loss that occurs, and its possible effect on future fracture risk, should also be evaluated.

Abstract
Obesity and severe obesity constitute growing serious health problems reaching epidemic proportion in most countries. Interactions and relationships between obesity and bone tissue and its metabolism are complex but are more and more studied and recognized. Obesity is associated with an altered hormonal profile including particularly bone-regulating hormones like vitamin D. Bariatric surgery procedures, thanks to their effectiveness to achieve therapeutic endpoints for comorbidities associated with obesity, have had an increasing success. However, these surgeries by producing mechanical restriction and or malabsorption syndrome lead to nutritional deficiencies including vitamin D. In this review, we aim to (1) discuss the nutritional deficiency of vitamin D in the obese, (2) to summarize the different surgical options in bariatric surgery and to present the evidence concerning these procedures and their associated profile in vitamin D post-operative insufficiency, (3) to present the different recommendations in clinical practice to prevent or treat vitamin D deficiencies or insufficiencies in patients treated by bariatric surgery and finally to introduce emerging assumptions on the relationship between vitamin D, microbiota composition and circulating bile acids. Impact statement Obesity and severe obesity constitute growing serious health problems reaching epidemic proportion in most countries with a prevalence increasing from 6.4 in 1975 to 14.9% in 2014. This present review summarizes currently available data on vitamin D deficiencies in the obese population before and after bariatric surgery. The important evidence emerging from our evaluation confirms that obese patients are at risk of multiple nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamin D deficiency, before bariatric surgery. Our survey confirms that the precise role of the gut microbiome and its associated changes on the vitamin D metabolism after the different bariatric surgery procedures has not yet been studied. Furthermore, whether differences in the microbiota may alter the therapeutic responses to vitamin D is not known.

Abstract
Society has changed its own lifestyle, specially its eating habits and physical activities, leading to excessive weight and a sedentary behavior, which has contributed to obesity increase. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment to obesity, allowing weight loss and its maintenance. However, it has been related high levels of iron deficiency after surgery. A person's nutritional status might be affected by total or partial tooth loss. The aim of this longitudinal prospective cohort study was to evaluate the levels of serum ferritin before and after bariatric surgery and to identify if there is a relation with tooth loss. The sample was composed of 50 patients selected and assisted at Amaral Carvalho Hospital, located in Jaú city, Brazil. The use and necessity of prosthesis, dental absence or presence, and serum ferritin dosage were evaluated. Student's t test, Univariate analysis, Chi-square and Odds Ratio were adopted (p<0.05). There was no significant difference regarding the serum ferritin levels between dentate and edentulous patients prior to surgery (p = 0.436). After surgery, the serum ferritin levels were higher in edentulous patients (prosthesis users) when compared to the pre-surgical levels, and the post-surgical levels presented significant difference regarding the dentate patients (p = 0.024). It can be concluded that rehabilitated patients in postoperative period showed better levels of serum ferritin after surgical intervention.

Abstract
A staggering 76 million adults are obese in the United States. It is known that obesity contributes to increased incidence and worse disease outcomes in many rheumatic conditions. Bariatric surgery has emerged as the most effective treatment modality for the morbidly obese, leading to substantial and sustained weight loss. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the findings of studies investigating the effect of substantial weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery on rheumatic disease and outcomes. Second, with an increasing number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery, it is important for the rheumatologist to have a basic understanding of the commonly performed bariatric procedures and to be aware of important nutritional deficiencies and medication restrictions that apply to this patient population.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a profoundly effective treatment for severe obesity, but results in significant bone loss in patients. Developing a murine model that recapitulates this skeletal phenotype will provide a robust tool with which to study the physiologic mechanisms of this bone loss. We studied adult male C57BL/6J mice who underwent either RYGB or sham operation. Twelve weeks after surgery, we characterized biochemical bone markers (parathyroid hormone, PTH; C-telopeptide, CTX; and type 1 procollagen, P1NP) and bone microarchitectural parameters as measured by microcomputed tomography. RYGB-treated mice had significant trabecular and cortical bone deficits compared with sham-operated controls. Although adjustment for final body weight eliminated observed cortical differences, the trabecular bone volume fraction remained significantly lower in RYGB mice even after weight adjustment. PTH levels were similar between groups, but RYGB mice had significantly higher indices of bone turnover than sham controls. These data demonstrate that murine models of RYGB recapitulate patterns of bone loss and turnover that have been observed in human clinical studies. Future studies that exploit this murine model will help delineate the alterations in bone metabolism and mechanisms of bone loss after RYGB.

Abstract
Obese subjects are often characterized by low plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD) levels. Many explanations for this association have been proposed. Low plasma 25OHD is associated with obesity-related comorbidities such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and low-grade inflammation. In this review, we discuss the proposed mechanisms for low 25OHD in obesity and explore the results of recent RCTs on vitamin D (VD) supplementation on obesity and its metabolic complications such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Although the results from these clinical randomized controlled trials vary, the general picture is that VD treatment of obese individuals does not seem to be an effective treatment of obesity-related metabolic complications.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been shown to impair bone health. This study aimed to investigate the fracture risk in patients after bariatric surgery versus propensity score-matched controls. The authors used the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan and identified 2064 patients who underwent bariatric surgery during 2001 to 2009. These patients were matched to 5027 obese patients who did not receive bariatric surgery, using propensity score matching accounting for age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and the year morbid obesity was diagnosed. The authors followed the surgical and control cohorts to death, any diagnosis of fracture, or December 31, 2012, whichever occurred first. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to calculate relative rates of fractures in the surgical group and control group. At the end of the 12-year study period, there were 183 fractures in the surgical group (mean follow-up 4.8 years) and 374 fractures in the matched control group (mean follow-up 4.9 years). Overall, there was a 1.21-fold [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.43] significantly increased risk of fracture in the surgical group compared with the control group. Stratified by surgical procedures, malabsorptive procedures showed a significantly higher fracture risk (1.47, 95% CI: 1.01-2.15). The Kaplan-Meier estimated fracture rates were 1.60% at 1 year, 2.37% at 2 years, 1.69% at 5 years, and 2.06% after 5 years for the surgical patients, compared with 1.51%, 1.65%, 1.53%, and 1.42%, respectively, for the matched controls. Adjusted analysis showed a trend towards an increased fracture risk, 1 to 2 years after bariatric surgery. (1.42, 95% CI: 0.99-2.05). Bariatric surgery was significantly associated with an increased risk of fractures, mainly with malabsorptive procedures, with a trend of an increased fracture risk 1 to 2 years after surgery. These results provide further evidence for the adverse effects of bariatric surgery on the risk of fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a surgical technique burdened, in some instances, by clinical evidence of malabsorption and intractable diarrhoea. OBJECTIVES To compare calcium metabolism together with weight in patients undergoing BPD versus BPD followed by revisional surgery because of side effects of BPD or ineffectiveness of BPD. SETTING University hospital. METHODS Twenty-seven patients underwent BPD. After a median period of 48 months, they underwent revisional surgery (elongation of the common limb from 50 to 200 cm and reduction of the gastric pouch from 500 to 40 mL) and were observed for a total period of 120 months; 40 patients only underwent BPD (controls) and were observed for an identical period. RESULTS At baseline, 24 patients (8 revisional surgery and 16 controls) had increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, and only 3 patients had normal 25(OH)vitamin D levels; calcium declined, even within normal limits, and PTH increased in the revisional surgery group. After revisional surgery, patients experienced a further decrease of weight, together with a reduction of PTH levels, an increase of 25(OH)vitamin D levels, and an increase of calcium levels. Weight loss was inverserly associated with an increase of 25(OH)vitamin D and directly associated with change of PTH. CONCLUSION This study suggests that it is possible to control effects of BPD on calcium metabolism through a revisional procedure leading to lesser malabsorption and to greater restriction of the gastric pouch. It should be considered in the presence of significant side effects due to excessive malabsorption.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapeutic approach to morbid obesity, resulting in substantial weight loss and improved cardiometabolic profiles; however, a growing body of evidence suggests that bariatric procedures increase both skeletal fragility and the risk of related future fracture secondary to excessive bone loss. Prospective evidence shows that areal bone mineral density (BMD) assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) declines by as much as 14% in the proximal femoral regions, including the femoral neck and total hip, 12 months postoperatively. Lumbar spine areal BMD outcomes show greater 12-month postoperative variability across surgical procedures (-8 to +6%) and contrast with no change in volumetric BMD outcomes measured by quantitative computed tomography. Diminished mechanical loading, micronutrient deficiency and malabsorption, along with neurohormonal alterations, offer plausible underlying mechanisms to explain these observed post-bariatric bone changes, but most remain largely unsubstantiated in this population. Importantly, DXA-based skeletal imaging may have limited utility in accurately detecting bone change in people undergoing bariatric surgery; partly because excessive tissue overlying bone increases the variability of areal BMD outcomes. Moreover, a paucity of fracture and osteoporosis incidence data raises questions about whether marked post-bariatric surgery bone loss is clinically relevant or a functional adaptation to skeletal unloading. Future studies that use technology which is able to accurately capture the site-specific volumetric BMD and bone architectural changes that underpin bone strength in people undergoing bariatric surgery, that consider mechanical load, and that better quantify long-term fracture and osteoporosis incidence are necessary to understand the actual skeletal effects of bariatric surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone regulation system may be affected after bariatric surgeries, but procedures impact differently to bone mineral density (BMD) and measures restraining bone loss are frequently neglected until clinical consequences become manifest. This is a systematic review aimed to elucidate whether BMD loss is comparable after different bariatric surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search of morbid obese adults, undergone to bariatric surgery, with BMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and after surgery studies was performed in several databases. Studies were assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement and COCHRANE Risk of Bias tool. The random model was selected for meta-analysis; heterogeneity was analyzed with T(2), inconsistency (I(2) > 50%) and Chi(2) (p < 0.10). Level of evidence and strength of recommendations were summarized using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE System). RESULTS Twelve studies met the selection criteria. After one year, reduction in total BMD in patients with mixed surgical procedures was significant: -0.03 g/cm(2) (CI 95% 0.00 to -0.06, p < 0.05). BMD was reduced by -0.12 g/cm(2) (CI 95% -0.10 to -0.15, p < 0.001) in the hip, -0.07 g/cm(2) (CI 95% -0.03 to -0.11, p < 0.001) in the column, and -0.03 g/cm(2) (IC 95% -0.02 to -0.04, p < 0.001) in the forearm, but not in restrictive surgeries. Studies included showed high heterogeneity and low quality of evidence. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergone to mixed bariatric surgery had significant higher BMD deterioration as demonstrated in this review, suggesting that more attention for preventing fractures is required.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a popular and effective treatment for severe obesity but may have negative effects on the skeleton. This review summarizes changes in bone density and bone metabolism from animal and clinical studies of bariatric surgery, with specific attention to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), adjustable gastric banding (AGB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Skeletal imaging artifacts from obesity and weight loss are also considered. Despite challenges in bone density imaging, the preponderance of evidence suggests that bariatric surgery procedures have negative skeletal effects that persist beyond the first year of surgery, and that these effects vary by surgical type. The long-term clinical implications and current clinical recommendations are presented. Further study is required to determine mechanisms of bone loss after bariatric surgery. Although early studies focused on calcium/vitamin D metabolism and mechanical unloading of the skeleton, it seems likely that surgically induced changes in the hormonal and metabolic profile may be responsible for the skeletal phenotypes observed after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for achieving a significant weight loss. Morbidities present a significant reduction after bariatric surgery, but it may also result in several health complications, related to nutritional deficiencies, including bone metabolism. Several studies have reported a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD), but most of them referring to malabsorptive procedures. Restrictive procedures do not imply changes in gastrointestinal anatomy, so that one may expect fewer metabolic disturbances. METHODS We performed a retrospective observational study of all morbidly obese patients undergoing LSG between 2008 and 2011 at our institution. Bone densitometry was performed before surgery and 1 and 2 years after the intervention. Body size measurements, analytical variables and densitometric values in the lumbar spine (BMD, t score and z score) were investigated. RESULTS Forty-two patients were included, 39 females and 3 males. Mean BMI was 51.21 kg/m(2). Mean excessive BMI loss was 79.9 % after 1 year and 80.6 % after 2 years. Mean BMD values for spine increased progressively, reaching statistical significance at 1 and at 2 years. Percentage of BMD increase was 5.7 % at 1 year and 7.9 % at 2 years. An inverse correlation was observed between BMD increase and parathyroid hormone (PTH) decrease and a direct correlation between BMD and vitamin D increase. CONCLUSION Bone mineral density showed a progressive increase during the first and second year after sleeve gastrectomy. BMD changes are not associated with weight loss, but showed a direct correlation with vitamin D and an inverse correlation with PTH levels.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is an effective and increasingly common treatment for severe obesity and its many comorbidities. The side-effects of bariatric surgery can include detrimental effects on bone and mineral metabolism. Bone disease in patients who have had bariatric surgery is affected by preoperative abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism related to severe obesity. Changes that arise after bariatric surgery are specific to procedure type: the most pronounced abnormalities in calciotropic hormones and bone loss are noted after procedures that result in the most malabsorption. The most consistent site for bone loss after all bariatric procedures is at the hip. There are limitations of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry technology in this population, including artefact introduced by adipose tissue itself. Bone loss after bariatric surgery is probably multifactorial. Proposed mechanisms include skeletal unloading, abnormalities in calciotropic hormones, and changes in gut hormones. Few data for fracture risk in the bariatric population are available, and this is a crucial area for additional research. Treatment should be geared toward correction of nutritional deficiencies and study of bone mineral density in high-risk patients. We explore the skeletal response to bariatric surgery, potential mechanisms for changes, and strategies for management.

Abstract
Low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) are associated with increased bone turnover and risk of fractures. Plasma 25OHD is inversely related to body mass index, and vitamin D deficiency is common in obesity. We aimed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation affects bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) in obese subjects. Fifty-two healthy obese men and women aged 18-50 years with plasma 25OHD levels below 50 nmol/L were randomized to 7,000 IU of cholecalciferol daily or placebo for 26 weeks. We measured plasma levels of 25OHD, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and markers of bone turnover, as well as BMD at the hip, spine, forearm, and whole body. Compared with placebo, treatment with cholecalciferol increased mean plasma 25OHD from 35 to 110 nmol/L (p < 0.00001) and significantly decreased PTH (p < 0.05). BMD increased significantly at the forearm by 1.6 ± 0.7 % (p = 0.03). The bone resorption marker C-terminal telopetide of type 1 collagen (CTX) decreased borderline significantly in the cholecalciferol group compared with the placebo group (p = 0.07). Changes in plasma 25OHD correlated inversely with changes in plasma levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (r = -0.38, p = 0.01) and CTX (r = -0.33, p = 0.03). Changes in CTX correlated inversely with changes in spine BMD (r = -0.45, p = 0.04). Increasing circulating 25OHD levels by cholecalciferol treatment is of importance to bone health in young obese subjects as increased levels of 25OHD are associated with a decrease in both PTH and bone turnover and with an increase in BMD at the forearm.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Morbid obesity control can be done by bariatric surgery that restricts or reduces the amount of food absorption. The objective of this review was to identify the consequences of bariatric surgery and its repercussions on oral health. METHOD It was used the Virtual Library of Health, which included articles that had any direct or indirect connection between bariatric surgery and oral health, and published in the last ten years. RESULTS Some complications of the surgery are chronicle reflux and nutritional deficiency, which may bring repercussions on the oral cavity, such as tooth erosion, bone loss and dental caries. On the other hand, there are also positive impacts, such as the decrease of diabetes, apnea and improvement on self-esteem, that makes the patients less vulnerable to complications regarding oral health, for example xerostomy and periodontal disease. CONCLUSION Maintaining proper oral health in patients undergoing bariatric surgery contributes to success after surgery protecting benefits and minimizing side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to establish longitudinal bone changes in obese women after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS Twenty-nine women at baseline mean age of 40.41 ± 9.26 years and with mean body mass index (BMI) of 43.07 ± 4.99 kg/m(2) were included in a 6-month study. Skeletal status at hip [femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH)] and spine was assessed at baseline, as well as in 3 and 6 months after surgery. Body size was measured at baseline and follow-up (weight, height, BMI, and waist). RESULTS Baseline body weight was 117.5 ± 18.4 kg. The mean body weight and BMI decreased by 17.9 % during the first 3 months after surgery to obtain 28.4 % after 6 months. At 6 months, BMD decreased significantly for spine by 1.24 %, FN 6.99 %, and TH 5.18 %. The changes after 3 months in individual subjects showed that, in the majority of subjects, FN and TH BMD decreased significantly (in 52 % and 69 % of subjects, respectively), and in 24 % loss of BMD was found at the spine. After 6 months, the corresponding, significant decreases in individual subjects were found in 72 %, 86 %, and 38 % of woman, respectively. Those with a significant loss of FN BMD tended to lose more weight (30 ± 9.47 versus 23.25 ± 6.08 kg, p = 0.061) than others; women with a significant decrease of FN BMD lost more weight than those with no such decrease (30.43 ± 8.07 versus 15 ± 1.91 kg). CONCLUSION LSG proved efficient for body weight reduction, however, with a parallel decline in bone mineral density.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Low vitamin D (VD) levels are common in obesity. We hypothesized that this may be due to metabolism of VD in adipose tissue (AT). Thus, we studied (1) whether the VD-metabolizing enzymes were expressed differently in AT of lean and obese individuals and in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and (2) whether their expression was influenced by weight loss. METHODS Samples of SAT and VAT were analyzed for expression of the vitamin-D-25-hydroxylases CYP2R1, CYP2J2, CYP27A1 and CYP3A4, the 25-vitamin-D-1α-hydroxylase CYP27B1, the catabolic vitamin-D-24-hydroxylase CYP24A1, and the vitamin D receptor, using reverse transcriptase-PCR. Moreover, plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD) level was measured and related to the expression of these enzymes. Samples of SAT and VAT from 20 lean women and 20 obese women, and samples of SAT from 17 obese subjects before and after a 10% weight loss were analyzed. RESULTS A plasma 25OHD level <50 nmol l(-1) was highly prevalent in both lean (45%) and obese (90%) women (P<0.01). Plasma 25OHD increased by 27% after weight loss in the obese individuals (P<0.05). Expression levels of the 25-hydroxylase CYP2J2 and the 1α-hydroxylase CYP27B1 were decreased by 71% (P<0.0001) and 49% (P<0.05), respectively, in SAT of the obese. CYP24A1 did not differ between lean and obese women, but the expression was increased by 79% (P<0.05) after weight loss. CONCLUSION Obesity is characterized by a decreased expression of the 25-hydroxylase CYP2J2 and the 1α-hydroxylase CYP27B1 in SAT, whereas the catabolic CYP24A1 does not differ between lean and obese women. However, the expression of CYP24A1 is increased after weight loss. Accordingly, AT has the capacity to metabolize VD locally, and this can be dynamically altered during obesity and weight loss.

Abstract
As the popularity of bariatric surgery to treat morbid obesity has risen, so has a concern of increased skeletal fragility secondary to accelerated bone loss following bariatric procedures. We reviewed cross-sectional and prospective literature reporting bone density outcomes following bariatric surgical treatment for morbid obesity. Prospective research provides evidence of hip and lumbar spine areal bone mineral density (aBMD) reductions primarily in women despite calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Femoral neck aBMD declines of 9-11% and lumbar spine aBMD reductions up to 8% were observed at the first post-operative year following malabsorptive procedures. Mean T- and Z-scores up to 25 years following surgery remained within normal and healthy ranges. Of those studies reporting development of osteoporosis following gastric bypass, one woman became osteoporotic after 1 year. Despite observed bone loss in the hip region post-surgery, data do not conclusively support increased incidence of osteoporosis or increased fracture risk in post-bariatric patients. However, given the limitations of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry technology in this population and the relative lack of long-term prospective studies that include control populations, further research is needed to provide conclusive evidence regarding fracture outcomes in this population.

Abstract
A persistent negative energy balance results in bone loss. It is not clear whether the bone loss associated with chronic negative energy balance can be prevented. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of intermittent low dose parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment in maintaining normal bone formation during severe energy restriction. Six-month-old male Fisher 344 rats were divided into 4 treatment groups: (1) baseline, (2) ad libitum (ad lib)-fed control, (3) energy-restricted (to consume 40% ad lib caloric intake), or (4) energy-restricted+low dose (1 μg/kg/d) PTH. Severe energy restriction for 14 d decreased body weight and serum leptin levels. Compared to ad lib-fed controls, energy-restricted rats had lower cancellous bone formation, higher osteoclast perimeter/bone perimeter and higher bone marrow adiposity in the proximal tibial metaphysis. Also, the energy-restricted rats had a lower periosteal bone formation rate at the tibia-fibula synostosis. Administration of PTH to energy-restricted rats had no effect on weight loss or osteoclast perimeter/bone perimeter. In contrast, energy-restricted rats treated with PTH had higher rates of cancellous and cortical bone formation compared to energy-restricted rats, and did not differ from the ad lib-fed control animals. Furthermore, PTH treatment maintained normal bone marrow adiposity. In conclusion, rapid weight loss in adult male rats was accompanied by decreased bone formation and increased bone marrow adiposity and these changes were prevented by low dose PTH treatment. Taken together, the results suggest that the energy cost of bone formation in adult rats is low and PTH therapy is effective in preventing the reduced bone formation associated with rapid weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The available evidence indicates a progressive increase in the incidence and severity of the deficiency of certain vitamins and related clinical conditions (i.e., metabolic bone disease). Because of the potential role of fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in bone metabolism, our aim was to assess the time-course changes of fat-soluble vitamins and serum markers of bone metabolism in candidates for obesity surgery and following two bariatric procedures. METHODS Sixty-five candidates for bariatric surgery and 150 serum samples after obesity surgery (i.e., Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, n = 85; biliopancreatic diversion, n = 65) were consecutively analyzed over a period of more than 2 years. Retinol, α- and γ-tocopherol, 25-OH-vitamin D3, β-cryptoxanthin, and β-carotene were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), osteocalcin, beta-crosslaps, and N-terminal peptide of procollagen I (P1NP) were determined using commercial kits. RESULTS Retinol, β-cryptoxanthin, β-carotene, and α- and γ-tocopherol levels were significantly lower in post-surgery samples while osteocalcin, b-crosslaps, and P1NP were significantly increased. Along the time and regardless of the surgical procedure, P1NP, b-crosslaps, and osteocalcin increased during the first 12-24 months but declined afterward. 25-OH-vitamin D increased during the first 12 months and tended to decrease afterward while iPTH remained constant or decreased but increased after 1 year in both groups. Vitamin A remained constant but α- and γ-tocopherol, β-cryptoxanthin, and β-carotene decreased in both groups. CONCLUSIONS In addition to the nutritional assessment, regular monitoring of bone markers seems necessary in these patients and the early introduction of preventive strategies (i.e., the use of antiresorptive agents) should be evaluated.

Abstract
Interest in vitamin D has increased recently because of its role on multiple biologic mechanisms and the high prevalence of deficits, particularly in obese individuals. The epidemic of morbid obesity has led to a growing number of bariatric surgical procedures, the only therapeutic modality with a reasonable chance of success on a long-term basis. Vitamin D status following bariatric surgery depends on several interacting factors and should be monitored carefully. We review vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone dynamics following the main types of bariatric surgery and the guidelines for the postoperative periodic assessment and therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to provide guidelines for the nutritional and endocrine management of adults after bariatric surgery, including those with diabetes mellitus. The focus is on the immediate postoperative period and long-term management to prevent complications, weight regain, and progression of obesity-associated comorbidities. The treatment of specific disorders is only summarized. PARTICIPANTS The Task Force was composed of a chair, five additional experts, a methodologist, and a medical writer. It received no corporate funding or remuneration. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery is not a guarantee of successful weight loss and maintenance. Increasingly, patients regain weight, especially those undergoing restrictive surgeries such as laparoscopic banding rather than malabsorptive surgeries such as Roux-en-Y bypass. Active nutritional patient education and clinical management to prevent and detect nutritional deficiencies are recommended for all patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Management of potential nutritional deficiencies is particularly important for patients undergoing malabsorptive procedures, and strategies should be employed to compensate for food intolerance in patients who have had a malabsorptive procedure to reduce the risk for clinically important nutritional deficiencies. To enhance the transition to life after bariatric surgery and to prevent weight regain and nutritional complications, all patients should receive care from a multidisciplinary team including an experienced primary care physician, endocrinologist, or gastroenterologist and consider enrolling postoperatively in a comprehensive program for nutrition and lifestyle management. Future research should address the effectiveness of intensive postoperative nutritional and endocrine care in reducing morbidity and mortality from obesity-associated chronic diseases.
