Bone loss after bariatric surgery is observed mainly in the hip trabecular compartment and after hypoabsorptive techniques. Bone 2024:117270. [PMID: 39368725 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2024] [Revised: 09/25/2024] [Accepted: 10/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
We evaluated the impact of bariatric surgery on bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture over one year using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the trabecular bone score (TBS), and 3D-DXA to assess changes after different surgical techniques. This prospective, single-center study of 153 patients with severe obesity contrasts the effects on bone health of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and duodenal switch/single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy (DS/SADIS). To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate patients undergoing DS/SADIS and to incorporate 3D-DXA analysis in the assessment of bone loss. Patients were 81 % female with a mean age of 50 ± 9 years. Fifty-four per cent underwent SG; 16 %, RYGB; and 30 %, DS/SADIS. Our findings revealed a significant decrease in areal BMD at the LS (-3.49 ± 5.44 %), FN (-5.24 ± 5.86 %), and TH (-8.06 ± 5.14 %) one year after bariatric surgery. Bone microarchitecture at the LS assessed by TBS was degraded in 30 % of patients. Proximal femur 3D-DXA analysis showed that surgery-induced bone loss predominantly affects the trabecular compartment (Trabecular volumetric (v) BMD: -8.00 ± 6.57 %) rather than the cortical compartment (Cortical vBMD: -1.37 ± 2.79 %). These results suggest hypoabsorptive and mixed techniques (DS/SADIS and RYGB) were associated with greater BMD loss and deterioration of microarchitecture than restrictive techniques (SG). The primary determinants of bone density and impairment of microarchitecture were the extent of weight loss and the type of surgical procedure. Despite overall bone loss, Z-score assessments indicated that post-surgical bone status remained within or above the average ranges compared to a healthy population, except for TH following DS/SADIS. In conclusion, our research shows differences in the impact of bariatric surgery techniques on bone density and microarchitecture, emphasizing the need for careful postoperative monitoring of bone health, particularly in patients undergoing hypoabsorptive and mixed procedures.

Abstract
Obesity and its associated comorbidities constitute a serious and growing public health burden. Fractures affect a substantial proportion of people with obesity and result from reduced bone strength relative to increased mechanical loading, together with an increased risk of falls. Factors contributing to fractures in people with obesity include adverse effects of adipose tissue on bone and muscle and, in many people, the coexistence of type 2 diabetes. Strategies to reduce weight include calorie-restricted diets, exercise, bariatric surgery, and pharmacological interventions with GLP-1 receptor agonists. However, although weight loss in people with obesity has many health benefits, it can also have adverse skeletal effects, with increased bone loss and fracture risk. Priorities for future research include the development of effective approaches to reduce fracture risk in people with obesity and the investigation of the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on bone loss resulting from weight reduction.

Abstract
GDF15 is a stress response cytokine and a distant member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily, its levels increase in response to cell stress and certain diseases in the serum. To exert its effects, GDF15 binds to glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) receptor alpha-like (GFRAL), which was firstly identified in 2017 and highly expressed in the brain stem. Many studies have demonstrated that elevated serum GDF15 is associated with anorexia and weight loss. Herein, we focus on the biology of GDF15, specifically how this circulating protein regulates appetite and metabolism in influencing energy homeostasis through its actions on hindbrain neurons to shed light on its impact on diseases such as obesity and anorexia/cachexia syndromes. It works as an endocrine factor and transmits metabolic signals leading to weight reduction effects by directly reducing appetite and indirectly affecting food intake through complex mechanisms, which could be a promising target for the treatment of energy-intake disorders.

Abstract
Context Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has deleterious effects on bone mass, microarchitecture, and strength. Data are lacking on the skeletal effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), now the most commonly performed bariatric surgical procedure. Objective We examined changes in bone turnover, areal and volumetric bone mineral density (aBMD, vBMD), and appendicular bone microarchitecture and estimated strength after SG. We compared the results to those previously reported after RYGB, hypothesizing lesser effects after SG than RYGB. Design Setting Participants Prospective observational cohort study of 54 adults with obesity undergoing SG at an academic center. Main Outcome Measures Skeletal characterization with biochemical markers of bone turnover, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), quantitative computed tomography (QCT), and high-resolution peripheral QCT (HR-pQCT) was performed preoperatively and 6- and 12-months postoperatively. Results Over 12 months, mean percentage weight loss was 28.8%. Bone turnover marker levels increased, and total hip aBMD decreased -8.0% (95% CI -9.1%, -6.7%, p<0.01). Spinal aBMD and vBMD declines were larger in postmenopausal women than men. Tibial and radial trabecular and cortical microstructure worsened, as did tibial estimated strength, particularly in postmenopausal women. When compared to data from a RYGB cohort with identical design and measurements, some SG biochemical, vBMD, and radial microstructural parameters were smaller, while other changes were not. Conclusions Bone mass, microstructure, and strength decrease after SG. Some skeletal parameters change less after SG than after RYGB, while for others, we find no evidence for smaller effects after SG. Postmenopausal women may be at highest risk of skeletal consequences after SG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment for severe obesity and it has beneficial effects on glycemic control and metabolism outcomes. However, the effects of BS on nutritional outcomes are controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the changes in several nutritional outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS A comprehensive search was performed using the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WanFang and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure. The following outcomes were evaluated: vitamin A, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], calcium, phosphorus, parathormone (PTH), iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate, and zinc. The pooled outcomes were expressed as standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using a random effects model. RESULTS Fifty-six studies including 5645 individuals with obesity met the inclusion criteria. Serum 25(OH)D (SMD = 0.78, 95%CI 0.38 to 1.20, P < 0.001), phosphorus (SMD = 0.48, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.74, P < 0.001), PTH (SMD = 0.35, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.59, P = 0.005), vitamin B12 (SMD = 1.11, 95%CI 0.41 to 1.80, P = 0.002), and folate (SMD = 1.53, 95%CI 0.77 to 2.28, P < 0.001) significantly increased after RYGB compared with the baseline. Serum ferritin (SMD = - 1.67, 95%CI - 2.57 to - 0.77, P < 0.001), vitamin A (SMD = - 0.64, 95%CI - 0.99 to - 0.29, P < 0.001), and plasma zinc (SMD = - 0.58, 95%CI - 1.09 to - 0.06, P = 0.027) significantly decreased after RYGB. No significant changes in serum calcium (SMD = - 0.14, 95%CI - 0.40 to 0.11, P = 0.219) and iron (SMD = 0.26, 95%CI - 0.11 to 0.64, P = 0.165) were observed after RYGB. CONCLUSIONS Despite the increased levels of 25(OH)D, phosphorus, vitamin B12 and folate, this meta-analysis revealed the unfavorable nutritional consequences after RYGB.

Abstract
Context The association of obesity with bone fragility fractures is complex and non-linear. Despite good efficacy on weight loss, bariatric surgery (BS) is also associated with bone loss. However, we lack information on risk factors of the long-term deleterious effects of BS on the skeleton. Objective We aimed to assess the factors associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) performed a long time after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Methods This cross-sectional study involved patients at a long distance from their BS that underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) with biological factors (vitamins, micronutrients, bone and inflammation biomarkers). Simple and multiple linear models (stepwise and parsimony approach) were developed. Results A total of 131 patients (91 RYGB, 40 SG) underwent DXA (51.8 ± 11.08 years, 87.8% women). At a mean of 6.8 ± 3.7 years after surgery, the mean weight loss was -28.6 ± 9.6%, and only 6 patients (5.7%) had a T-score less than or equal to -2.5. On univariate analysis, BMD was lower in the RYGB than in the SG group (P < .001) at all sites, despite similar fat and fat-free mass and weight loss. Serum parathyroid hormone and phosphate levels were higher in RYGB than SG patients. A total of 10.1% of patients showed vascular calcifications. On multivariable analysis, BMD remained different between surgery groups after adjustment for age, body mass index, ethnicity, and sex. The model-adjusted R 2 values were 0.451 for the total hip; 0.462 the femoral neck, and 0.191 the lumbar spine for the inflammation model; 0.458, 0.462, and 0.254, respectively, for the bone marker model; and 0.372, 0.396, and 0.142 for the vitamin model. Serum zinc, ferritin, and uric acid levels were the markers associated with BMD to a low extent. Conclusion BMD differed depending on the BS procedure. A few biological markers may be associated weakly with BMD well after the surgery.

Abstract
Bone is a highly dynamic organ that changes with the daily circadian rhythm. During the day, bone resorption is suppressed due to eating, while it increases at night. This circadian rhythm of the skeleton is regulated by gut hormones. Until now, gut hormones that have been found to affect skeletal homeostasis include glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and peptide YY (PYY), which exerts its effects by binding to its cognate receptors (GLP-1R, GLP-2R, GIPR, and Y1R). Several studies have shown that GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP all inhibit bone resorption, while GIP also promotes bone formation. Notably, PYY has a strong bone resorption-promoting effect. In addition, gut microbiota (GM) plays an important role in maintaining bone homeostasis. This review outlines the roles of GLP-1, GLP-2, GIP, and PYY in bone metabolism and discusses the roles of gut hormones and the GM in regulating bone homeostasis and their potential mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in adults. The long-term impact of MBS during adolescence on BMD is unknown. We report bone health status 5 to 11 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) from the Teen-LABS study cohort. METHODS Between 2016 and 2022, BMD was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 106 young adults who had undergone MBS as adolescents. Volumetric BMD by peripheral quantitative computed tomography was measured on a subset. Ninety-one controls who had not undergone MBS were recruited for comparison. RESULTS In cases (RYGB: mean age 26.8 ± 1.9 years, mean BMI 42.1 ± 9.9 kg/m2, VSG: mean age 25.1 ± 2.1 years, mean BMI 37.1 ± 8.4 kg/m2), compared to controls (mean age 26.5 ± 2.7 years, mean BMI 40.2 ± 8.7 kg/m2) (age p < 0.001, BMI p = 0.02), adjusted mean DXA-BMD (g/cm2) of the RYGB (n = 58) and VSG (n = 48) groups were lower at the hip (-10.0% and -6.3%), femoral neck (-9.6% and -5.7%) and ultra-distal radius (-7.9% and -7.0%; all p < 0.001), respectively. DXA-BMD did not differ between RYGB and VSG groups. Trabecular volumetric BMD at the radius and tibia were lower in the RYGB (-30% and -26%) and VSG (-15% and -14%) groups compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Greater time since MBS was associated with lower BMD Z-scores at the hip (p = 0.05) and femoral neck (p = 0.045). Percent change in body mass index (BMI) from baseline or in the first year after MBS were not associated with bone measures at a median of 9.3 years post MBS. CONCLUSION BMD, especially of the hip and femoral neck, was lower in young adults who underwent MBS during adolescence compared to matched peers who had not undergone MBS. BMD Z-scores of the femoral neck were inversely associated with time since MBS but were not associated with BMI change.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review and meta-analysis is to characterize the changes in body composition of children and adolescents who underwent bariatric surgery and identify possible negative effects of performing this procedure during pediatric ages. RECENT FINDINGS Bariatric surgery in children and adolescents is an emerging strategy to promote higher and faster body weight and fat mass losses. However, possible negative effects usually observed in surgical patients' muscle-skeletal system raise a major concern perform this intervention during growth. Despite these possible issues, most experimental studies and reviews analyze bariatric surgery's effectiveness only by assessing anthropometric outcomes such as body weight and BMI, disregarding the short- and long-term impact of bariatric surgery on all body composition outcomes. Bariatric surgery is effective to reduce fat mass in adolescents, as well as body weight, waist circumference, and BMI. Significant reduction in lean mass and fat-free mass is also observed. Bone mass seems not to be impaired. All outcomes reduction were observed only in the first 12 months after surgery. Sensitivity analysis suggests possible sex and type of surgery-related differences, favoring a higher fat mass, body weight, and BMI losses in boys and in patients who underwent RYGB.

Prevalence of Morphometric Vertebral Fractures After Bariatric Surgery and Its Relationship with Bone Mineral Density and Bone Markers. Obes Surg 2024; 34:733-740. [PMID: 38285298 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-07049-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery (BS) can lead to bone loss and an increased fracture risk. METHODS To determine the morphometric vertebral fracture (MVF) prevalence, and its relationship with bone mineral density (BMD), and biomarker's turnover after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), we analyzed post-surgery X-rays of the spine in 80 patients (88% female, 51% RYGB, age 41.2 [6.8] years) from 117 participants' retrospective cohort (1-2 years, >2 and <5 years, and >5 years). We still analyzed body composition and BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and bone parameters. RESULTS MVF prevalence was 17.5% (14/80), with no statistical difference between groups (p = 0.210). RYGB group had a higher prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) (PTH ≥ 65 pg/ml; 18.4% vs 7.8%, respectively, p = 0.04), PTH (61.3 vs 49.5 pg/ml, p = 0.001), CTX (0.766 [0.29] ng/ml vs 0.453 [0.30] ng/ml, p = 0.037), and AP (101.3 [62.4] U/L vs 123.9 [60.9] U/L, p = 0.027) than the SG group. Up to 5 years postoperatively, RYGB had a lower total (1.200 [0.087] vs 1.236 [0.100] g/cm2, p = 0.02), femoral neck (1.034 [0.110] vs 1.267 [0.105], p = 0.005), and total femur BMD (1.256 [0.155] vs 1.323 [0.167], p = 0.002) than SG group. We found no statistically significant difference between the MFV (+) and MVF (-) groups regarding age, sex, BMI, surgery time, BMD, or bone and metabolic parameters, including leptin. CONCLUSION We found a high prevalence of MVF after BS with no differences between RYGB and SG.

Risk of wrist fracture, estimated by the load-to-strength ratio, declines following sleeve gastrectomy in adolescents and young adults. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:285-291.

Abstract
To understand whether the bone loss which occurs after vertical sleeve gastrectomy increases the risk of fracture, we used an engineering model to estimate risk in participants before and after surgery. We found that estimated risk decreased 1 year after surgery and remained lower, though had rebounded, at year 2. PURPOSE Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) improves metabolic health in young people with obesity but is accompanied by substantial loss of bone mass and estimated bone strength. We thus estimated fracture risk following VSG using the load-to-strength ratio (LSR), which integrates bone strength estimates with the predicted force of a fall. METHODS Prospective 2-year study of youth ages 13-24 years with obesity undergoing VSG (n = 24) or lifestyle therapy (n = 34). We performed high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the distal radius and microfinite element analysis to estimate bone strength and calculated LSR. RESULTS VSG participants lost 26.4 ± 8.1% weight at year 1 (p < 0.001), which was sustained at year 2, while control participants gained weight at year 2 (4.5 ± 8.3%, p = 0.009). The predicted impact force decreased at years 1 and 2 following VSG (p < 0.001) but increased at year 2 among controls (p = 0.011). Estimated bone strength was unchanged at year 1 but decreased (p < 0.001) at year 2 following VSG, while bone strength did not change in controls. At year 1, the LSR decreased among VSG participants (p < 0.001), implying a lower risk of fracture. At year 2, the LSR was lower than baseline (p < 0.001), but higher compared to year 1 (p = 0.001). LSR did not change in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Short-term estimated fracture risk at the radius following VSG decreases. However, ongoing bone loss despite stable weight between years 1 and 2 leads to a concerning rise in estimated fracture risk. Longer follow-up will be critical to evaluate the trajectory of fracture risk. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02557438, registered 9/23/2015).

Abstract
Objective Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in adults. The long-term impact of MBS during adolescence on BMD is unknown. We report bone health status 5 to 11 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) from the Teen-LABS study cohort. Methods Between 2016 and 2022, BMD was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 106 young adults who had undergone MBS as adolescents. Volumetric BMD by peripheral quantitative computed tomography was measured on a subset. Ninety-one controls who had not undergone MBS were recruited for comparison. Results Compared to controls, adjusted mean DXA-BMD of the RYGB (n = 58) and VSG (n = 48) groups were lower at the hip (-10.0% and - 6.3%), femoral neck (-9.6% and - 5.7%) and ultra-distal radius (-7.9% and - 7.0%; all p < 0.001), respectively. DXA-BMD did not differ between RYGB and VSG groups. Trabecular volumetric BMD at the radius and tibia were lower in the RYGB (-30% and - 26%) and VSG (-15% and - 14%) groups compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Greater time since MBS was associated with lower BMD Z-scores at the hip (p = 0.05) and femoral neck (p = 0.045). Percent change in body mass index (BMI) from baseline or in the first year after MSB were not associated with bone measures at a median of 9.3 years post MSB. Conclusion BMD, especially of the hip and femoral neck, was lower in young adults who underwent MBS during adolescence compared to matched peers who had not undergone MBS. BMD Z-scores of the femoral neck decreased with time since MBS but were not associated with BMI change.

Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is effective in treating cardiometabolic complications of obesity but is associated with bone loss. Our aim was to determine the effect of SG on the lumbar spine by biomechanical CT analysis in adolescents/young adults with obesity. We hypothesized that SG would lead to a decrease in strength and bone mineral density (BMD) compared with nonsurgical controls. In a 12-month prospective nonrandomized study, adolescents/young adults with obesity underwent SG (n = 29, 18.0 ± 2.1 years, 23 female) or were followed without surgery (controls, n = 30, 17.95 ± 3.0 years, 22 female). At baseline and 12 months, participants underwent quantitative computed tomography (QCT) of L1 and L2 for biomechanical assessment and MRI of the abdomen and mid-thigh for body composition assessment. Twelve-month changes between groups and within groups were assessed. Analyses were controlled for baseline and 12-month changes in body mass index (BMI) by multivariable analyses. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of body composition on bone parameters. Our institutional review board (IRB) approved the study, and informed consent/assent was obtained. Participants in the SG group had a higher baseline BMI than controls (p = 0.01) and lost an average of 34.3 ± 13.6 kg 12 months after surgery, whereas weight was unchanged in controls (p < 0.001). There were significant reductions in abdominal adipose tissue and thigh muscle area in the SG group compared with controls (p < 0.001). Bone strength, bending stiffness, and average and trabecular volumetric BMD decreased in the SG group compared with controls (p < 0.001). After controlling for change in BMI, a 12-month reduction in cortical BMD was significant in the SG group compared with controls (p = 0.02). Reductions in strength and trabecular BMD were associated with reductions in BMI, visceral adipose tissue, and muscle (p ≤ 0.03). In conclusion, SG in adolescents decreased strength and volumetric BMD of the lumbar spine compared with nonsurgical controls. These changes were associated with decreases in visceral fat and muscle mass. © 2023 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Mixed Meal Tolerance Test Versus Continuous Glucose Monitoring for an Effective Diagnosis of Persistent Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4295.

Abstract
Gastric bypass determines an increase in incretin secretion and glucose excursions throughout the day and may sometimes entail the development of severe post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). However, there is no consensus on the gold standard method for its diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for the diagnosis of PBH, defined as glucose levels <54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L). We found that hypoglycemia occurred in 60% of patients after the MMTT and in 75% during CGM, and it was predominantly asymptomatic. The MMTT confirmed the diagnosis of PBH in 88.9%of patients in whom surgery had been performed more than three years ago, in comparison to 36.4% in cases with a shorter postsurgical duration. CGM diagnosed nocturnal asymptomatic hypoglycemia in 70% of patients, and daytime postprandial hypoglycemia in 25% of cases. The mean duration of asymptomatic hypoglycemia was more than 30 min a day. Patients with ≥2% of their CGM readings with hypoglycemia exhibited a higher degree of glucose variability than those with <1% of the time in hypoglycemia. Our results show that the MMTT may be a useful dynamic test to confirm the occurrence of hypoglycemia in a large number of patients with persistent and recurrent PBH during long-term follow-up after gastric bypass. CGM, on its part, helps identify hypoglycemia in the real-world setting, especially nocturnal asymptomatic hypoglycemia, bringing to light that PBH is not always postprandial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate bone health and the potential influencing factors of bone metabolism disorders in adults ≥5 y after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, patients who were ≥5 y post-RYGB were invited. Bone health considered as bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in this study was assessed by dual x-ray absorptiometry. We also assessed 25-hydroxy-vitamin D concentrations, individual ultraviolet B radiation levels, serum ionized calcium, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid, anthropometric, and body composition. RESULTS The study evaluated 104 adults (90% women; 49.6 ± 9.1 y old; postoperative period 8.7 ± 2.2 y). Lumbar and femoral BMC and BMD were positively correlated to body mass index (BMI), appendicular lean mass (ALM), and negatively to %excess of weight loss (EWL). Femoral BMD was negatively correlated to age, and both femoral BMD and BMC were positively correlated to weekly exposed body part score. Sex, age, BMI, ALM, and weekly exposed body part score explained 35% and 54% of the total variance of femoral BMD and BMC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present findings suggested that older age, lower BMI, higher %EWL, lower ALM, and lower weekly body part exposure score are important determinants in lowering BMD and BMC parameters in long-term post-bariatric surgery individuals, rather than serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and parathyroid.

Abstract
CONTEXT Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is an increasingly common tool to achieve weight loss and improve metabolic health in adolescents and young adults with obesity, although it may adversely affect bone health. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to evaluate the effect of VSG on bone health in youth. METHODS An observational 2-year study was conducted at a tertiary care center of 66 patients aged 13 to 24 years with moderate-to-severe obesity meeting criteria for VSG. The patients underwent VSG (n = 30) or nonsurgical (n = 36) management per the decision of patient and clinical team. Main outcome measures included dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) measures of bone mineral density (BMD), geometry, and microarchitecture. RESULTS VSG patients achieved 25.3 ± 2.0% weight loss at 2 years (P < .001) while control subjects gained 4.0 ± 2.0% (P = .026). Total hip BMD declined 8.5 ± 1.0% following VSG compared with 0.1 ± 1.0% gain in controls (P < .001), with similar results at the femoral neck (P < .001). Total volumetric BMD (vBMD) decreased both at the distal radius and tibia following VSG (P < .001) driven primarily by trabecular vBMD loss (P < .001). Two-year changes in cortical vBMD did not differ between groups, though cortical porosity decreased following VSG both at the radius and tibia (P = .048 and P < .001). Cortical thickness increased in controls but not in VSG (P = .022 and P = .002 for between-group comparisons at the radius and tibia, respectively). Following VSG, estimated failure load decreased at the radius and did not demonstrate the physiologic increases at the tibia observed in controls. CONCLUSION VSG leads to progressive changes in bone health over 2 years, and may lead to increased skeletal fragility in adolescents and young adults.

[PMID: 36609743 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06448-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with severe obesity submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are at risk of developing long-term hypovitaminosis D and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) as well as osteometabolic disease. This study aimed to evaluate calcium-vitamin D-PTH axis and bone mineral density (BMD) changes from post-RYGB patients who were followed-up until a median of 5 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25-hydroxyvitamin D <20 ng/mL and SHPT as PTH >68 pg/mL, in patients with normal serum creatinine and calcium. BMD was estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, g/cm2). RESULTS We included 127 post-RYGB patients (51±10.6 years, 87.4% self-declared White, 91.3% female, 52.8% postmenopausal). Vitamin D deficiency prevalence was the highest (41.5%) in the second year and the lowest (21.2%) in the third year (p<0.05). SHPT prevalence was 65.4% in the second year and increased to 83.7% in the sixth year (p<0.05). Patients with low BMD in lumbar, femoral neck, and total proximal femur were older and presented menopausal status more frequently than normal BMD group (p<0.05). Older age was a risk marker for altered BMD in femoral neck (OR=1.185; 95% CI 1.118-1.256) and in total proximal femur (OR=1.158; 95% CI 1.066-1.258), both after adjusting for follow-up and excess weight loss. CONCLUSION After 5 years, most bariatric patients presented calcium-vitamin D-PTH axis disruption, in which SHPT was more frequent than hypovitaminosis D. Older patients and menopausal women presented higher rates of low BMD, and older age was a risk marker, especially for low BMD in femoral sites.

Intestinal Calcium Absorption Decreases After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Despite Optimization of Vitamin D Status. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:351-360. [PMID: 36196648 PMCID: PMC10091486 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgac579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), now the most commonly performed bariatric operation, is a highly effective treatment for obesity. While Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is known to impair intestinal fractional calcium absorption (FCA) and negatively affect bone metabolism, LSG's effects on calcium homeostasis and bone health have not been well characterized. OBJECTIVE We determined the effect of LSG on FCA, while maintaining robust 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and recommended calcium intake. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS Prospective pre-post observational cohort study of 35 women and men with severe obesity undergoing LSG. MAIN OUTCOMES FCA was measured preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively with a gold-standard dual stable isotope method. Other measures included calciotropic hormones, bone turnover markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computed tomography. RESULTS Mean ± SD FCA decreased from 31.4 ± 15.4% preoperatively to 16.1 ± 12.3% postoperatively (P < 0.01), while median (interquartile range) 25OHD levels were 39 (32-46) ng/mL and 36 (30-46) ng/mL, respectively. Concurrently, median 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D level increased from 60 (50-82) pg/mL to 86 (72-107) pg/mL (P < 0.01), without significant changes in parathyroid hormone or 24-hour urinary calcium levels. Bone turnover marker levels increased substantially, and areal BMD decreased at the proximal femur. Those with lower postoperative FCA had greater areal BMD loss at the total hip (ρ = 0.45, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS FCA decreases after LSG, with a concurrent rise in bone turnover marker levels and decline in BMD, despite robust 25OHD levels and with recommended calcium intake. Decline in FCA could contribute to negative skeletal effects following LSG.

Abstract
Energy metabolism is a point of integration among the various organs and tissues of the human body, not only in terms of consumption of energy substrates but also because it concentrates a wide interconnected network controlled by endocrine factors. Thus, not only do tissues consume substrates, but they also participate in modulating energy metabolism. Soft mesenchymal tissues, in particular, play a key role in this process. The recognition that high energy consumption is involved in bone remodeling has been accompanied by evidence showing that osteoblasts and osteocytes produce factors that influence, for example, insulin sensitivity and appetite. Additionally, there are significant interactions between muscle, adipose, and bone tissues to control mutual tissue trophism. Not by chance, trophic and functional changes in these tissues go hand in hand from the beginning of an individual's development until aging. Likewise, metabolic and nutritional diseases deeply affect the musculoskeletal system and adipose tissue. The present narrative review highlights the importance of the interaction of the mesenchymal tissues for bone development and maintenance and the impact on bone from diseases marked by functional and trophic disorders of adipose and muscle tissues.

Abstract
Background Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective bariatric procedure; however, sleeve gastrectomy-related adverse skeletal outcomes have been increasingly reported. High levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) have been documented to be a risk factor of bone mineral density (BMD) loss with different effects observed between sexes. The aim of this study was to identify sex-specific changes in BMD following sleeve gastrectomy and to evaluate the role of SHBG in this process. Methods This retrospective study included 19 middle-aged men and 30 non-menopausal women with obesity who underwent sleeve gastrectomy in China. Anthropometrics, bone turnover markers, calciotropic hormones, BMD, SHBG, and gonadal steroids were measured preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Longitudinal changes in BMD, bone turnover markers and SHBG were compared between sexes by linear mixed models. Multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of BMD loss at the investigated bone sites. Results Over the 12-month study period, total hip and femoral neck BMD decreased, while lumbar spine BMD remained largely unchanged in both sexes. Linear mixed models revealed significant sex × time interaction effects in total hip BMD and SHBG, showing that men had a significantly greater reduction in total hip BMD and less increase in SHBG after sleeve gastrectomy than women. In the multivariate model, SHBG was significantly associated with total hip BMD loss in men (adjusted β = −0.533, P = 0.019) but not women while total estrogen was significantly associated with total hip BMD loss in women (adjusted β = 0.508, P = 0.01) but not men. Conclusion Significant sex-specific BMD changes were observed after sleeve gastrectomy in the current study. Sleeve gastrectomy-related increase in SHBG may be a specific risk factor for total hip BMD loss in men. Our results indicate that sex-specific screening may be warranted to facilitate personalized postoperative bone care in this population.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery has adverse effects on the muscular-skeletal system with loss of bone mass and muscle mass and an increase in the risk of fracture. Zoledronic acid is widely used in osteoporosis and prevents bone loss and fracture. Bisphosphonates may also have positive effects on skeletal muscle. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of zoledronic acid for the prevention of bone and muscle loss after bariatric surgery. Methods/design This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Sixty women and men with obesity aged 35 years or older will complete baseline assessments before randomization to either zoledronic acid (5 mg in 100 ml isotonic saline) or placebo (100 ml isotonic saline only) 3 weeks before surgery with Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Follow-up assessments are performed 12 and 24 months after surgery. The primary outcome is changes in lumbar spine volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) assessed by quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Secondary bone outcomes are changes in proximal femur vBMD assessed by QCT. Changes in cortical and trabecular bone microarchitecture and estimated bone strength will be assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Cortical material bone strength at the mid-tibia diaphysis will be assessed using microindentation and fasting blood samples will be obtained to assess biochemical markers of bone turnover and calcium metabolism. Secondary muscle outcomes include whole body lean mass assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Dynamometers will be used to assess handgrip, shoulder, ankle, and knee muscle strength. Short Physical Performance Battery, 7.6-m walking tests, 2-min walking test, and a stair climb test will be assessed as biomarkers of physical function. Self-reported physical activity level is assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Discussion Results from this study will be instrumental for the evidence-based care of patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04742010.

Abstract
It has been increasingly acknowledged that bariatric surgery adversely affects skeletal health. After bariatric surgery, the extent of high-turnover bone loss is much greater than what would be expected in the absence of a severe skeletal insult. Patients also experience a significant deterioration in bone microarchitecture and strength. There is now a growing body of evidence that suggests an association between bariatric surgery and higher fracture risk. Although the mechanisms underlying the high-turnover bone loss and increase in fracture risk after bariatric surgery are not fully understood, many factors seem to be involved. The usual suspects are nutritional factors and mechanical unloading, and the roles of gut hormones, adipokines, and bone marrow adiposity should be investigated further. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was once the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide, but sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has now become the predominant bariatric procedure. Accumulating evidence suggests that RYGB is associated with a greater reduction in BMD, a greater increase in markers of bone turnover, and a higher risk of fracture than SG. These findings should be taken into consideration in determining the most appropriate bariatric procedure for patients, especially those at higher fracture risk. Before and after all bariatric procedures, sufficient calcium, vitamin D and protein intake, and adequate physical activity, are needed to counteract negative impacts on bone. There are no studies to date that have evaluated the effect of osteoporosis treatment on high-turnover bone loss after bariatric surgery. However, in patients with a diagnosis of osteoporosis, anti-resorptive agents may be considered.

Abstract
Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is an effective treatment for obesity; however, it may negatively impact skeletal health by increasing fracture risk. This increase may be the result not only of decreased bone mineral density but also of changes in bone microstructure, for example, increased cortical porosity. Increased tibial and radial cortical porosity of patients undergoing RYGB surgery has been observed as early as 6 months postoperatively; however, local microstructural changes and associated biological mechanisms driving this increase remain unclear. To provide insight, we studied the spatial distribution of cortical porosity in 42 women and men (aged 46 ± 12 years) after RYGB surgery. Distal tibias and radii were evaluated with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively. Laminar analysis was used to determine cortical pore number and size within the endosteal, midcortical, and periosteal layers of the cortex. Paired t tests were used to compare baseline versus follow-up porosity parameters in each layer. Mixed models were used to compare longitudinal changes in laminar analysis outcomes between layers. We found that the midcortical (0.927 ± 0.607 mm-2 to 1.069 ± 0.654 mm-2 , p = 0.004; 0.439 ± 0.293 mm-2 to 0.509 ± 0.343 mm-2 , p = 0.03) and periosteal (0.642 ± 0.412 mm-2 to 0.843 ± 0.452 mm-2 , p < 0.0001; 0.171 ± 0.101 mm-2 to 0.230 ± 0.160 mm-2 , p = 0.003) layers underwent the greatest increases in porosity over the 12-month period at the distal tibia and radius, respectively. The endosteal layer, which had the greatest porosity at baseline, did not undergo significant porosity increase over the same period (1.234 ± 0.402 mm-2 to 1.259 ± 0.413 mm-2 , p = 0.49; 0.584 ± 0.290 mm-2 to 0.620 ± 0.299 mm-2 , p = 0.35) at the distal tibia and radius, respectively. An alternative baseline-mapping approach for endosteal boundary definition confirmed that cortical bone loss was not primarily endosteal. These findings indicate that increases in cortical porosity happen in regions distant from the endosteal surface, suggesting that the underlying mechanism driving the increase in cortical porosity is not merely endosteal trabecularization. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
CONTEXT The adverse skeletal effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are partly caused by intestinal calcium absorption decline. Prebiotics, such as soluble corn fiber (SCF), augment colonic calcium absorption in healthy individuals. OBJECTIVE We tested the effects of SCF on fractional calcium absorption (FCA), biochemical parameters, and the fecal microbiome in a post-RYGB population. METHODS Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 20 postmenopausal women with history of RYGB a mean 5 years prior; a 2-month course of 20 g/day SCF or maltodextrin placebo was taken orally. The main outcome measure was between-group difference in absolute change in FCA (primary outcome) and was measured with a gold standard dual stable isotope method. Other measures included tolerability, adherence, serum calciotropic hormones and bone turnover markers, and fecal microbial composition via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. RESULTS Mean FCA ± SD at baseline was low at 5.5 ± 5.1%. Comparing SCF to placebo, there was no between-group difference in mean (95% CI) change in FCA (+3.4 [-6.7, +13.6]%), nor in calciotropic hormones or bone turnover markers. The SCF group had a wider variation in FCA change than placebo (SD 13.4% vs 7.0%). Those with greater change in microbial composition following SCF treatment had greater increase in FCA (r2 = 0.72, P = 0.05). SCF adherence was high, and gastrointestinal symptoms were similar between groups. CONCLUSION No between-group differences were observed in changes in FCA or calciotropic hormones, but wide CIs suggest a variable impact of SCF that may be due to the degree of gut microbiome alteration. Daily SCF consumption was well tolerated. Larger and longer-term studies are warranted.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is now recognized as the most effective treatment of morbid obesity, leading to durable weight loss and resolution of associated co-morbidities. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are the two most widely used operations today. However, potentially serious medical, surgical, and/or psychiatric complications can occur that raise questions regarding the benefits of this type of surgery. These complications can lead to surgical re-operations, iterative hospitalizations, severe nutritional deficiencies and psychological disorders. Indeed, death from suicide is said to be three times higher than in non-operated obese patients. These results are of concern, all the more because of the high prevalence of patients lost to follow-up (for various and multifactorial reasons) after bariatric surgery. However, better knowledge of post-surgical sequelae could improve the information provided to patients, the preoperative evaluation of the benefit/risk ratio, and, for patients undergoing surgery, the completeness and quality of follow-up as well as the detection and management of complications. The development of new strategies for postoperative follow-up such as telemedicine but also the mobilization of all the actors along the healthcare pathway can make inroads and warrant further study.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a global public health problem, with fractures contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Although postmenopausal osteoporosis is most common, up to 30% of postmenopausal women, > 50% of premenopausal women, and between 50% and 80% of men have secondary osteoporosis. Exclusion of secondary causes is important, as treatment of such patients often commences by treating the underlying condition. These are varied but often neglected, ranging from endocrine to chronic inflammatory and genetic conditions. General screening is recommended for all patients with osteoporosis, with advanced investigations reserved for premenopausal women and men aged < 50 years, for older patients in whom classical risk factors for osteoporosis are absent, and for all patients with the lowest bone mass (Z-score ≤ -2). The response of secondary osteoporosis to conventional anti-osteoporosis therapy may be inadequate if the underlying condition is unrecognized and untreated. Bone densitometry, using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, may underestimate fracture risk in some chronic diseases, including glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, and may overestimate fracture risk in others (eg, Turner syndrome). FRAX and trabecular bone score may provide additional information regarding fracture risk in secondary osteoporosis, but their use is limited to adults aged ≥ 40 years and ≥ 50 years, respectively. In addition, FRAX requires adjustment in some chronic conditions, such as glucocorticoid use, type 2 diabetes, and HIV. In most conditions, evidence for antiresorptive or anabolic therapy is limited to increases in bone mass. Current osteoporosis management guidelines also neglect secondary osteoporosis and these existing evidence gaps are discussed.

Abstract
We aimed to assess if exercise applied after bariatric surgery (BS) improves bone mineral density (BMD) compared to usual care. Systematic search was conducted up to January 2021. Effect measures were determined using standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Certainty evidence was assessed according to GRADE. Four clinical trials encompassing 340 patients were included. Exercise induced a positive BMD effect at total hip (SMD = 0.37 [95% CI 0.02, 0.71]; very low certainty evidence), femoral neck (SMD = 0.63 [95% CI 0.19, 1.06]; low certainty evidence), lumbar spine (SMD = 0.41 [95% CI 0.19, 0.62]; low certainty evidence), and 1/3 radius (SMD = 0.58 [95% CI 0.19, 0.97]; low certainty evidence). Exercise undertaken after BS seems to induce a positive effect on BMD.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health challenge that warrants effective treatments to avoid its multiple comorbidities. Bariatric surgery, a cornerstone treatment to control bodyweight excess and relieve the health-related burdens of obesity, can promote accelerated bone loss and affect skeletal strength, particularly after malabsorptive and mixed surgical procedures, and probably after restrictive surgeries. The increase in bone resorption markers occurs early and persist for up to 12 months or longer after bariatric surgery, while bone formation markers increase but to a lesser extent, suggesting a potential uncoupling process between resorption and formation. The skeletal response to bariatric surgery, as investigated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), has shown significant loss in bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip with less consistent results for the lumbar spine. Supporting DXA studies, analyses by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) showed lower cortical density and thickness, higher cortical porosity, and lower trabecular density and number for up to 5 years after bariatric surgery. These alterations translate into an increased risk of fall injury, which contributes to increase the fracture risk in patients who have been subjected to bariatric surgery procedures. As bone deterioration continues for years following bariatric surgery, the fracture risk does not seem to be dependent on acute weight loss but, rather, is a chronic condition with an increasing impact over time. Among the post-bariatric surgery mechanisms that have been claimed to act globally on bone health, there is evidence that micro- and macro-nutrient malabsorptive factors, mechanical unloading and changes in molecules partaking in the crosstalk between adipose tissue, bone and muscle may play a determining role. Given these circumstances, it is conceivable that bone health should be adequately investigated in candidates to bariatric surgery through bone-specific work-up and dedicated postsurgical follow-up. Specific protocols of nutrients supplementation, motor activity, structured rehabilitative programs and, when needed, targeted therapeutic strategies should be deemed as an integral part of post-bariatric surgery clinical support.

Abstract
CONTEXT Numerous studies have demonstrated detrimental skeletal consequences following bariatric surgery. METHODS A working group of the European Calcified Tissue Society (ECTS) performed an updated review of existing literature on changes of bone turnover markers (BTMs), bone mineral density (BMD), and fracture risk following bariatric surgery and provided advice on management based on expert opinion. LITERATURE REVIEW Based on observational studies, bariatric surgery is associated with a 21-44% higher risk of all fractures. Fracture risk is time-dependent and increases approximately 3 years after bariatric surgery. The bariatric procedures that have a malabsorptive component (including Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (RYGB) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD)) have clearly been associated with the highest risk of fracture. The extent of high-turnover bone loss suggests a severe skeletal insult. This is associated with diminished bone strength and compromised microarchitecture. RYGB was the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide until very recently, when sleeve gastrectomy (SG) became more prominent. There is growing evidence that RYGB is associated with greater reduction in BMD, greater increase in BTMs, and higher risk of fractures compared with SG but RCTs on optimal management are still lacking. EXPERT OPINION In all patients, it is mandatory to treat vitamin D deficiency, to achieve adequate daily calcium and protein intake and to promote physical activity before and following bariatric surgery. In post-menopausal women and men older than 50 years, osteoporosis treatment would be reasonable in the presence of any of the following criteria: i) history of recent fragility fracture after 40 years of age, ii) BMD T-score ≤ -2 at hip or spine, iii) FRAX score with femoral neck BMD exceeding 20% for the 10-year major osteoporotic fracture probability or exceeding 3% for hip fracture. Zoledronate as first choice should be preferred due to intolerance of oral formulations and malabsorption. Zoledronate should be used with caution due to hypocemia risk. It is recommended to ensure adequate 25-OH vitamin D level and calcium supplementation before administering zoledronate. CONCLUSIONS The bariatric procedures that have a malabsorptive component have been associated with the highest turnover bone loss and risk of fracture. There is a knowledge gap on osteoporosis treatment in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. More research is necessary to direct and support guidelines.

Abstract
Bone loss is a potential adverse consequence of rapid and sustained weight loss after bariatric surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bone mass, body fat distribution, and metabolic parameters in women submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The study included the following three groups: one group of lean women (control [C] group) and two groups of obese women, one evaluated one year (B1) and the other five years (B5) after RYGB. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and magnetic resonance imaging were used to determine bone mineral density (BMD; lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck) and abdominal fat content (subcutaneous [SAT] and visceral [VAT] adipose tissues, and intrahepatic lipids [IHL]). The BMD/body mass index ratio was lower in the B5 compared with the C group at all sites. Serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) levels were higher in the B1 and B5 groups compared with the C group. Individuals submitted to RYGB showed greater SAT but similar VAT and IHL values compared with those in the C group. However, the B5 group had higher mean parathyroid hormone levels compared with the other two groups. Individuals submitted to RYGB presented increased levels of CTX and low BMD for body weight than those in the C group, suggesting that bone catabolism is a persistent alteration associated with RYGB. In conclusion, the long-lasting metabolic benefits obtained with RYGB in obesity are counterbalanced by a persistent catabolic effect of the procedure on bone and mineral metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still debated whether differences in bone turnover markers (BTMs) exist between the 2 most popular bariatric surgery procedures (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] and sleeve gastrectomy [SG]). OBJECTIVES To compare changes in BTMs after RYGB and SG, and to investigate their association with predefined markers of interest. SETTING University hospital, Lille, France. METHODS An ancillary investigation of a prospective cohort was conducted. SG patients with severe obesity ≥40 years were matched one-to-one to RYGB patients for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and menopausal status. BTMs, as well as predefined markers of interest, were measured at baseline, 12, and 24 months after bariatric surgery. RESULTS Sixty-four patients (66% women) had a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 49.6 years (5.1) and a mean (SD) BMI of 45.0 kg/m2 (6.0). From baseline to 12 months, a significant increase in BTMs was observed in both groups (P < .001). Moreover, RYGB was associated with a greater increase in C-terminal telopeptide (β-CTX) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (PINP) compared with SG (P < .0001). From 12 to 24 months, a significant decrease in BTMs was observed in both groups, but no significant differences were found between RYGB and SG. However, BTMs did not return to baseline levels. The changes in PINP and β-CTX at 12 months were independently associated with the type of surgical procedure, after adjusting for weight or each predefined marker of interest (all P < .0001). CONCLUSION RYGB was associated with a greater increase in BTMs than SG at 12 and 24 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mechanical unloading associated with weight loss might be one of the main causes for bariatric surgery (BS) induced bone loss. However, no study has tested this hypothesis through objectively measured accelerometry-derived gravitational loading. We aimed to assess how gravitational loading changes following BS and how this correlates with bone mass losses. METHODS Twenty-one patients submitted to gastric bypass were assessed before, 1, 6 and 12 months after BS for areal bone mineral density (BMD), calciotropic hormones, sclerostin, body composition and daily physical activity. Gravitational loading was determined as the sum of ground reaction forces assessed by accelerometer which considered the interaction between weight and daily ambulation. RESULTS Mechanical stimuli promoted through the significant increase in steps number counterbalanced the gravitational loading decreases derived from the significant weight loss after BS. Gravitational loading volume decreased between pre-BS and 1 month post-BS (-2215 kN·d-1; p = .023), but remained stable between 6 and 12 months post-BS, despite decreases on hip (-7.0%; p < .001), femoral neck (-8.8%; p < .001) and lumbar spine (-5.2%; p < .001) BMD. Serum sclerostin increased from pre-BS to 1 month post-BS (+0.118 ng·mL-1; p = .021), returning to pre-BS levels 6 months after surgery. Neither vitamin D nor parathyroid hormone were affected by BS. Weight variation was a predictor of BMD decreases at total hip (R2 = 0.06; p = .026) and femoral neck (R2 = 0.12; p = .022), whereas daily gravitational loading volume was not. Fat and lean mass changes were also predictors of BMD decrease at total hip (R2 = 0.05; p = .031) and femoral neck (R2 = 0.14; p = .010), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that gravitational loading only decreased during the first month after surgery remaining stable thereafter, and these changes do not seem to explain BS-induced bone loss. The association between weight and bone loss seems to result from other physiological aspects, fat and lean mass loss, rather than from gravitational loading decrease.

Abstract
Downstream effects of bariatric weight-loss surgery have been associated with bone resorption, potentially jeopardizing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant fixation/ingrowth. PURPOSE This case-control study sought to determine if TKA patients with history of bariatric surgery exhibit altered microanatomy of subchondral bone quality in the tibial plateau compared to controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS With IRB approval, 41 bone samples were evaluated from 12 former bariatric surgery patients and 10 sex-, age-, weight-, height-, and BMI-matched controls. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) surveys were completed prior to TKA. Tibial plateau osteochondral tissues were recovered during the TKA procedure, and samples from the medial and lateral plateaus were dissected into 1 × 2 cm sections, scanned using microcomputed tomography (µCT), and plastic-embedded for histologic sectioning/staining of undecalcified bone. Paired t tests with Bonferroni correction were performed to assess group differences. RESULTS Female bariatric surgery patients had reduced osteoid/total area and greater osteoclast number asymmetry than female controls (p < 0.03). No differences were noted in µCT or histologic bone parameters between bariatric and control patients when the sexes were combined. Bariatric patients self-reported worse preoperative PROMIS pain interference and physical function scores than controls (p < 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Similarities of subchondral bone between former bariatric surgery patients and matched controls indicate OA disease progression dominates the bone landscape in both patient groups.

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, Bone Density, and Bone Turnover After Bariatric Surgery: Differences Between Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy. Obes Surg 2021; 31:5367-5375. [PMID: 34635988 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05739-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery may lead to metabolic bone disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we compared the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), impact on bone mass and turnover markers, and serum leptin after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in 117 patients (91% female, 51% RYGB, age 41.8 ± 6.7 years, time of surgery 4.3 ± 3.4 years) at different times (1-2 years, > 2 and < 5 years and ≥ 5 years). Body composition, bone mineral density (BMD), by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and bone parameters (PTH, serum calcium, 25OHD, alkaline phosphatase (AP), C-telopeptide (CTX)) were analyzed. RESULTS Prevalence of SHPT (PTH ≥ 65 pg/ml) was 26%, RYGB > SG (18.4% vs. 7.8%, p = 0.039), despite similar 25OHD and calcium levels. Mean PTH, CTX, and AP were higher in RYGB vs. SG (61.3 ± 29.5 vs 49.5 ± 32.3 pg/ml, p = 0.001; 0.596 ± 0.24 vs. 0.463 ± 0.23 ng/ml; 123.9 ± 60.8 vs. 100.7 ± 62.0 U/l). There were 13.5% decreases in femoral neck BMD in all patients, over the study period. In the last group, the RYGB group showed greater bone loss in total body BMD (1.016 vs. 1.151 g/cm2, - 8.1%, p = 0.003) and total femur BMD (1.164 vs. 1.267 g/cm2, - 11.7%, p = 0.007). Mean leptin was lower in the RYGB vs. SG group, with no correlation with BMD in any site. CONCLUSION Our data suggest a more deleterious role of RYGB on bone remodeling up to 5 years postoperatively in comparison with SG.

Bone Mineral Density Trends During the First Year After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy-a Cohort Study on 241 Patients. Obes Surg 2021; 31:4885-4892. [PMID: 34449028 PMCID: PMC8490210 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05661-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective weight loss procedure, but detrimental effects on bone health have been described. We aimed to assess the dynamics of regional and total bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of patients undergoing LSG and to capture gender differences in terms of evolution. Materials and Methods We conducted a retrospective study on 241 patients who underwent LSG to determine the regional and total BMD changes at 6 and 12 months after the intervention. Results One hundred ten males and 140 females (97 pre-, 43 postmenopausal) were included. Mean baseline body mass index (BMI) was 44.16 ± 6.11 kg/m2 in males and 41.60 ± 5.54 kg/m2 in females, reaching 28.62 ± 4.26 kg/m2 and 27.39 ± 4.2 kg/m2, respectively, at 12 months. BMD showed a continuous decline, with significant loss from 6 months postoperatively. There was a positive correlation between BMD and BMI decline at 12 months (r = 0.134, p < 0.05). Total BMD loss at 12 months was significantly greater in males than premenopausal females, independent of BMI variation and age. During the first 6 months, men lost significantly more bone mass than premenopausal and postmenopausal women (BMD variation was 2.62%, 0.27%, 1.58%, respectively). The second period (6–12 months) was similar in all three groups, revealing a further steady (~ 1.4%) BMD decline. Conclusions Our results are consistent with previous findings that LSG negatively impacts BMD, stressing the importance of bone health-oriented measures in postoperative care. Moreover, the impact that seems more significant in males warrants future exploration, as it might change clinical practice. Graphical abstract ![]()

Abstract
Gut hormones secreted from enteroendocrine cells following nutrient ingestion modulate metabolic processes including glucose homeostasis and food intake, and several of these gut hormones are involved in the regulation of the energy demanding process of bone remodelling. Here, we review the gut hormones considered or known to be involved in the gut-bone crosstalk and their role in orchestrating adaptions of bone formation and resorption as demonstrated in cellular and physiological experiments and clinical trials. Understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of the gut-bone axis may identify adverse effects of investigational drugs aimed to treat metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity and new therapeutic candidates for the treatment of bone diseases.

Abstract
The extent to which the benefits of bariatric surgery may be maintained by lifestyle changes after surgery is unclear. Our hypothesis is that exercise may sustain some metabolic benefits and counteract some of the adverse effects of surgery. In this review, we present findings supporting the proposition that exercise is key to improving overall health in patients after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Bone fragility is one of the possible complications of diabetes, either type 1 (T1D) or type 2 (T2D). Bone fragility can affect patients of different age and with different disease severity depending on type of diabetes, disease duration and the presence of other complications. Fracture risk assessment should be started at different stages in the natural history of the disease depending on the type of diabetes and other risk factors. The risk of fracture in T1D is higher than in T2D, imposing a much earlier screening and therapeutic intervention that should also take into account a patient's life expectancy, diabetes complications etc. The therapeutic armamentarium for T2D has been enriched with drugs that may influence bone metabolism, and clinicians should be aware of these effects. Considering the complexity of diabetes and osteoporosis and the range of variables that influence treatment choices in a given individual, the Working Group on bone fragility in patients with diabetes mellitus has identified and issued recommendations based on the variables that should guide screening of bone fragility and management of diabetes and bone fragility: (A)ge, (B)MD, (C)omplications, (D)uration of disease, & (F)ractures (ABCD&F). Consideration of these parameters may help clinicians identify the best time for screening, the appropriate glycaemic target and anti-osteoporosis drug for patients with diabetes at risk of or with bone fragility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone mineral density (BMD) declines in the initial years after bariatric surgery, but long-term skeletal effects are unclear and comparisons between sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are rare. DESIGN AND METHODS An observational longitudinal study of obese patients undergoing SG or RYGB was performed. Whole-body (WB) BMD, along with BMD of the total hip (TH), femoral neck (FN), and lumbar spine (LS), was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) before surgery and yearly thereafter for 4 years. Calciotropic hormones were also measured. RESULTS Forty-seven patients undergoing RYGB surgery and 28 patients undergoing SG were included. Four years after RYGB, BMD declined by 2.8 ± 5.8% in LS, 8.6 ± 5% in FN, 10.9 ± 6.3% in TH, and 4.2 ± 6.2% in WB, relative to baseline. For SG, BMD declined by 8.1 ± 5.5% in FN, 7.7 ± 6% in TH, 2.0 ± 7.2% in LS, and 2.5 ± 6.4% in WB after 4 years, relative to baseline. Vitamin D levels increased with supplementation in both groups. Whereas parathyroid hormone levels increased slightly in the RYGB group, they decreased modestly in the SG group (P < 0.05 in both groups). CONCLUSIONS Bone loss after 4 years was comparable between the two procedures, although RYGB was associated with a slightly greater decrease at the TH than SG. Bone health should therefore be monitored after both RYGB and SG.

Abstract
The implications of obesity and weight loss for human bone health are not well understood. Although the bone changes associated with weight loss are similar in humans and rodents, that is not the case for obesity. In humans, obesity is generally associated with increased bone mass, an outcome which is exacerbated by advanced age and menopause. In rodents, by contrast, bone mass decreases in proportion to severity and duration of obesity, and is influenced by sex, age and mechanical load. Despite these discrepancies, rodents are frequently used to model the situation in humans. In this review, we summarise the existing knowledge of the effects of obesity and weight loss on bone mass in humans and rodents, focusing on the translatability of findings from animal models. We then describe how animal models should be used to broaden the understanding of the relationship between obesity, weight loss, and skeletal health in humans. Specifically, we highlight the aspects of study design that should be considered to optimise translatability of the rodent models of obesity and weight loss. Notably, the sex, age, and nutritional status of the animals should ideally match those of interest in humans. With these caveats in mind, and depending on the research question asked, our review underscores that animal models can provide valuable information for obesity and weight-management research.

Abstract
CONTEXT The prevalence of obesity is burgeoning among African American and Latina women; however, few studies investigating the skeletal effects of bariatric surgery have focused on these groups. OBJECTIVE To investigate long-term skeletal changes following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in African American and Latina women. DESIGN Four-year prospective cohort study. PATIENTS African American and Latina women presenting for RYGB (n = 17, mean age 44, body mass index 44 kg/m2) were followed annually for 4 years postoperatively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at the spine, hip, and forearm, and body composition. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography measured volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and microarchitecture. Individual trabecula segmentation-based morphological analysis assessed trabecular morphology and connectivity. RESULTS Baseline DXA Z-Scores were normal. Weight decreased ~30% at Year 1, then stabilized. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increased by 50% and 25-hydroxyvitamin D was stable. By Year 4, aBMD had declined at all sites, most substantially in the hip. There was significant, progressive loss of cortical and trabecular vBMD, deterioration of microarchitecture, and increased cortical porosity at both the radius and tibia over 4 years. There was loss of trabecular plates, loss of axially aligned trabeculae, and decreased trabecular connectivity. Whole bone stiffness and failure load declined. Risk factors for bone loss included greater weight loss, rise in PTH, and older age. CONCLUSIONS African American and Latina women had substantial and progressive bone loss, deterioration of microarchitecture, and trabecular morphology following RYGB. Further studies are critical to understand the long-term skeletal consequences of bariatric surgery in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While bariatric surgery could result in weight loss as well as glycaemia improvement, the short-term impact on bone health in a high glycemic environment following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) remains intriguing. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effects of RYGB and SG procedures on bone health in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDFfa/fa) rats. METHODS Thirty age-matched male ZDFfa/fa rats were randomized into RYGB, SG, and sham groups after establishment of the diabetic model. Body weight, blood glucose, bone mineral density (BMD), the level of bone turnover markers (BTM), vitamin D, and serum calcium and phosphorus were measured 4 weeks after the operation. RESULTS The RYGB procedure brought about lower blood glucose, BMD, serum calcium and phosphorus levels, as well as a relatively higher bone turnover rate and 1,25(OH)2VD level, compared to the SG and sham groups, while the influences of the SG procedure were not significant. 25(OH)VD demonstrated no significant difference among the 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS Despite its excellent ability to provide short-term glycemic control, the RYGB procedure could led to more severe impairment of bone health compared to the SG procedure. Bone health should be procured after bariatric surgery, especially with the RYGB procedure. Early detection of BMD and BTM may help to avoid deterioration of bone.

Zoledronic acid for prevention of bone loss in patients receiving bariatric surgery. Bone Rep 2021; 14:100760. [PMID: 33816718 PMCID: PMC8005765 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.100760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity but causes substantial bone loss and increased risk of fractures. To date, there have been no studies examining whether pharmacologic treatments can prevent bone loss after bariatric surgery. We performed an exploratory study to examine the preliminary safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid (ZOL), a potent anti-resorptive bisphosphonate, to suppress bone turnover markers (BTM) and prevent declines in bone mineral density (BMD) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Methods We performed an open-label pilot study of pre-operative ZOL in postmenopausal women with obesity who were planning RYGB (n = 4). A single dose of zoledronic acid 5 mg was given intravenously prior to RYGB. Serum bone biochemistries including C-telopeptide (CTX) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) were measured at multiple timepoints throughout the 24-week study. BMD was also obtained at the spine and hip by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and at the trabecular spine by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) at pre-operative baseline and 24 weeks. Results were compared against pre-operative baseline and against changes among RYGB historical controls (n = 10). Results At 2 weeks after RYGB, there was a nonsignificant trend for CTX and P1NP levels to be lower than baseline levels in the ZOL group. By 24 weeks after RYGB, however, participants who received ZOL had a significant increase in CTX above pre-operative baseline (+0.228 ± 0.117 ng/dL, p = 0.030) but this CTX rise was less than that observed in the controls (+0.601 ± 0.307 ng/dL, p = 0.042 between groups). Despite ZOL use, participants had significant areal BMD loss at the total hip as compared to pre-operative baseline (-4.2 ± 1.5%, p = 0.012) that was similar in magnitude to total hip BMD loss in the controls (-5.5 ± 3.9%, p = 0.005). There was a suggestion that the ZOL group might be protected against trabecular spine volumetric bone loss as compared to the control group (+4.8 ± 8.0% vs. -5.9 ± 7.0%, p = 0.075 between groups). Serum calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and parathyroid hormone did not change in either group. No hypocalcemia or serious adverse events were reported after ZOL. Conclusion In this proof of concept study, a single dose of ZOL prior to RYGB appeared to transiently mitigate but not fully prevent high bone turnover in the acute postoperative period. At 24 weeks after RYGB, our preliminary data suggest that ZOL was not sufficient to prevent bone loss at the hip, although it may preserve bone density at the trabecular spine. Further prospective, controlled studies are needed to confirm our findings and to identify the best strategies for preventing bone loss in bariatric patients receiving RYGB.

The Effect of an Exercise Intervention Program on Bone Health After Bariatric Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Bone Miner Res 2021; 36:489-499.

Abstract
Exercise has been suggested as a therapeutic approach to attenuate bone loss induced by bariatric surgery (BS), but its effectiveness remains unclear. Our aim was to determine if an exercise-training program could induce benefits on bone mass after BS. Eighty-four patients, submitted to gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, were randomized to either exercise (EG) or control group (CG). One month post-BS, EG underwent a 11-month supervised multicomponent exercise program, while CG received only standard medical care. Patients were assessed before BS and at 1, 6, and 12 months post-BS for body composition, areal bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers, calciotropic hormones, sclerostin, bone material strength index, muscle strength, and daily physical activity. A primary analysis was conducted according to intention-to-treat principles and the primary outcome was the between-group difference on lumbar spine BMD at 12 months post-BS. A secondary analysis was also performed to analyze if the exercise effect depended on training attendance. Twelve months post-BS, primary analysis results revealed that EG had a higher BMD at lumbar spine (+0.024 g∙cm-2 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.004, 0.044]; p = .015) compared with CG. Among total hip, femoral neck, and 1/3 radius secondary outcomes, only 1/3 radius BMD improved in EG compared with CG (+0.013 g∙cm-2 [95% CI 0.003, 0.023]; p = .020). No significant exercise effects were observed on bone biochemical markers or bone material strength index. EG also had a higher lean mass (+1.5 kg [95% CI 0.1, 2.9]; p = .037) and higher number of high impacts (+51.4 [95% CI 6.6, 96.1]; p = .026) compared with CG. In addition, secondary analysis results suggest that exercise-induced benefits may be obtained on femoral neck BMD but only on those participants with ≥50% exercise attendance compared with CG (+5.3% [95% CI 2.0, 8.6]; p = .006). Our findings suggest that an exercise program is an effective strategy to ameliorate bone health in post-BS patients. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
PURPOSE The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased over past decades with a concomitant increase in metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). While MBS in adults is associated with bone loss, only a few studies have examined the effect of MBS on the growing skeleton in adolescents. METHODS This mini-review summarizes available data on the effects of the most commonly performed MBS (sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass) on bone in adolescents. A literature review was performed using PubMed for English-language articles. RESULTS Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and BMD Z scores decreased following all MBS. Volumetric BMD (vBMD) by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) decreased at the lumbar spine while cortical vBMD of the distal radius and tibia increased over a year following sleeve gastrectomy (total vBMD did not change). Reductions in narrow neck and intertrochanteric cross-sectional area and cortical thickness were observed over this duration, and hip strength estimates were deleteriously impacted. Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) of the lumbar spine increased while MAT of the peripheral skeleton decreased a year following sleeve gastrectomy. The amount of weight loss and reductions in lean and fat mass correlated with bone loss at all sites, and with changes in bone microarchitecture at peripheral sites. CONCLUSION MBS in adolescents is associated with aBMD reductions, and increases in MAT of the axial skeleton, while sleeve gastrectomy is associated with an increase in cortical vBMD and decrease in MAT of the peripheral skeleton. No reductions have been reported in peripheral strength estimates.

The effects of adolescent laparoscopic adjustable gastric band and sleeve gastrectomy on markers of bone health and bone turnover. Clin Obes 2020; 10:e12411. [PMID: 32896095 PMCID: PMC7935448 DOI: 10.1111/cob.12411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
25-hydroxy vitamin D (25 OHD) deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism have been seen after metabolic and bariatric surgery, but data are lacking on the bone health outcomes of adolescent sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The purpose of this study was to examine bone-related nutrition after SG, compared to laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), and trend bone turnover markers following SG. This is an observational study of 197 adolescents who underwent LAGB (n = 98) or SG (n = 99). Bone health labs were collected at baseline and 6 and/or 12 months after LAGB or SG, with additional analysis of bone turnover markers in the SG group. Calcium and 25 OHD levels increased at 6 and 12 months after LAGB and SG, with no difference between the surgeries. Parathyroid hormone levels decreased only in the SG group. SG patients had increased osteocalcin and carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) at 6 and 12 months post-SG, although CTX decreased between 6 and 12 months. Excess weight loss at 6 months predicted the rise in CTX, but the changes in osteocalcin and CTX could not be attributed to 25 OHD deficiency, hypocalcemia or hyperparathyroidism. Patients had improved 25 OHD levels post-surgery, which may be secondary to stringent vitamin supplementation guidelines. However, there were marked increases in bone turnover markers following SG. More studies are needed to evaluate the effects of SG on adolescent bone health and to correlate the early changes in bone turnover with bone mineral density and fracture risk.

Abstract
Despite well recognized improvements in obesity-related comorbidities, increasing evidence implicates bariatric surgery in the onset of adverse skeletal health outcomes. The purpose of this review is to provide a focused update in three critical areas: (i) emergent data on sleeve gastrectomy and bone loss, (ii) evidence linking bariatric surgery to incident fracture, and (iii) intervention strategies designed to mitigate surgical bone loss. Better understanding of these issues will inform our treatment of skeletal health for patients planning bariatric surgery.
