Effect of regional body composition changes on bone density remodeling after sleeve gastrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) results in bone mineral density (BMD) loss and varying body composition parameters. However, the effects of body compositions on bone health are controversial. In order to accurately demonstrate their relationship and provide new insights into the causes of BMD loss after sleeve gastrectomy, this study is aimed to investigate the role of changes in body composition in BMD loss 12 months after SG.

Methods

41 Chinese individuals with obesity (25 women and 16 men) who underwent SG were prospectively examined for at least 12 months. Measurements of anthropometrics, body composition, BMD and blood samples were collected.

Results

For 12 months, the femoral neck (FN) BMD and total hip (TH) BMD decreased significantly compared with baseline
