The Effect of Intentional Weight Loss on Fracture Risk in Persons With Diabetes: Results From the Look AHEAD Randomized Clinical Trial
Open accessAbstract
Intentional weight loss is an important treatment option for overweight persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), but the effects on long-term fracture risk are not known. The purpose of this Look AHEAD analysis was to evaluate whether long-term intentional weight loss would increase fracture risk in overweight or obese persons with DM. Look AHEAD is a multicenter, randomized clinical trial. Recruitment began in August 2001 and follow-up continued for a median of 11.3 years at 16 academic centers. A total of 5145 persons aged 45 to 76 years with DM were randomized to either an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) with reduced calorie consumption and increased physical activity designed to achieve and maintain ≥7% weight loss or to diabetes support and education intervention (DSE). Incident fractures were ascertained every 6 months by self-report and confirmed with central adjudication of medical records. The baseline mean age of participants was 59 years, 60% were women, 63% were white, and the mean BMI was 36 kg/m2. Weight loss over the intervention period (median 9.6 years) was 6.0% in ILI and 3.5% in DSE. A total of 731 participants had a confirmed incident fracture (358 in DSE versus 373 in ILI). There were no statistically significant differences in incident total or hip fracture rates between the ILI and DSE groups. However, compared to the DSE group, the ILI group had a statistically significant 39% increased risk of a frailty fracture (HR 1.39; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.89). An intensive lifestyle intervention resulting in long-term weight loss in overweight/obese adults with DM was not associated with an overall increased risk of incident fracture but may be associated with an increased risk of frailty fracture. When intentional weight loss is planned, consideration of bone preservation and fracture prevention is warranted. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

In the Look AHEAD trial, long-term intentional weight loss was associated with a 39% increased risk of fragility fractures.
“However, 2017 data from the Look AHEAD trial showed that long-term intentional weight loss was associated with a 39% increased risk of fragility fractures325.”

The Results report a 39% higher risk of frailty fracture in the intensive lifestyle intervention group than in the diabetes support and education group. The Methods define that endpoint by fracture site—hip, pelvis, upper arm, or shoulder—not as fragility fractures, so the cited figure does not establish the claim for fragility fractures.

From New drugs for the treatment of obesity: do we need approaches to preserve muscle mass? (2025) · cites this paper as [32]
Reduced lean body mass is associated with decreased bone mineral density, increased risk of fractures, metabolic function such as insulin sensitivity, and aerobic capacity.
“Reduced LBM may be of additional clinical importance given its association with decreased bone mineral density and increased risk of fractures, as well as its relation to metabolic function (e.g., insulin sensitivity) and aerobic capacity [72, 73].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
