Weight loss surgery could be harmful for bone health, says study
New Delhi, May 05 (ANI): Weight loss surgery can have far worse effects than initially thought. According to a study conducted by the Wiley, weight loss surgery can cause declines in bone mass and strength and it is linked to an increased risk of bone fractures. Skeletal changes after surgery appear early and continue even after weight loss plateaus and weight stabilizes. Nutritional factors, mechanical unloading, hormonal factors, and changes in body composition and bone marrow fat may contribute to poor bone health. The study appears in the journal JBMR Plus.
