Regulation of Bone Mineral Density in Morbidly Obese Women: A Cross-sectional Study in Two Cohorts Before and After Bypass Surgery

Abstract: The inverse correlation found between body fat and BMD in the first cohort indicates morbid obesity increases the risk of osteoporosis and we found a positive correlation with lean and fat mass before bariatric surgery and with lean mass after bypass surgery.

“…Several studies have shown that obesity could increase bone density (Harris et al 1992, Albala et al 1996, Vandewalle et al 2013; however, other studies have found that obesity has either no effect on bone density (Greco et al 2010) or increases bone porosity (Rosen & Bouxsein 2006, Zhao et al 2008, Gó mez et al 2009). The present study, also, found that obese and insulin resistant rats had a decreased Gla/Glu-osteocalcin ratio, decreased osteoblastic proliferation, increased osteoblastic apoptosis, osteoblastic insulin resistance and increased bone porosity.…”

“…There is evidence of an inverse relationship between BMI and osteoclast activity in normal postmenopausal women [3] and of an increase in bone resorption following weight loss [4]. A number of mechanisms for this fat-bone relationship have been described and include the effect of soft tissue mass on skeletal loading [5], the association of fat mass with the secretion of active hormones from the pancreatic beta cells such as insulin [6] and amylin [7] which directly stimulate osteoblast proliferation and the secretion of active hormones (estrogens, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin) from the adipocyte [8][9][10][11].…”

“…The mechanisms involved are the increased production of estrogens by adipose tissue aromatase and the gravitational effect caused by increased body weight [5]. Moreover, recent evidence suggests the existence of an adipose tissuebone axis with the participation of hormonal factors such as leptin, adiponectin, and ghrelin in bone integrity [6][7][8]. On the other hand, a decrease in bone mineral content has been described in patients following very-low-calorie diets [9], and epidemiological data, from the population-based Framingham Osteoporosis Study, also revealed that weight loss is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis [10].…”
