Changes in Bone Mineral Density in Women Following 1-Year Gastric Bypass Surgery

Abstract

Background Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is the gold standard surgical treatment for obesity. However, unintended nutritional deficiencies following this surgery are common, including changes in bone metabolism. We assessed changes in bone mineral density (BMD), nutritional compounds, and bone resorption markers before and 1 year following RYGB surgery.Methods Our study included 22 female patients with class II/III obesity. A clinical questionnaire, a 24-h recall, blood and urine samples, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were provided.Results Mean age was 37.2 ± 9.6 years; 86 % were Caucasian and 77.2 % were premenopausal. Mean preoperative body mass index was 44.4 ± 5.0 and 27.5 ± 4.5 kg/m(2) at 1-year follow-up (p < 0.001). 25-OH-vitamin D-levels were similar in both periods [11.7 (9.7-18.0) vs. 15.7 (10.2-2.7) pg/dL, p = 0.327]. Serum N-telopeptide (16.3 ± 3.4 vs. 38.2 ± 7.0 nM BCE, p < 0.001) and parathyroid hormone (45.4 ± 16.7 vs. 62.7 ± 28.9 pg/mL, p = 0.026) increased after RYGB surgery, reflecting bone resorption. BMD decreased after RYGB surgery in the lumbar spine (1.13 ± 0.11 vs. 1.04 ± 0.09 g/cm(2), p = 0.001), femoral neck (1.03 ± 0.15 vs. 0.94 ± 0.16 g/cm(2), p = 0.001), and total femur (1.07 ± 0.11 vs. 0.97 ± 0.15 g/cm(2), p = 0.003).Conclusions Decreased BMD in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total femur is detectable in women 1 year after RYGB surgery. Calcium malabsorption, caused by vitamin D deficiency and increased bone resorption, is partially responsible for these outcomes and should be targeted in future clinical trials.

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.
