Ablett AD, et al. - In view of the consideration that weight loss interventions for obesity, such as bariatric surgery, are associated with reductions in bone mineral density and may increase the risk of fractures, researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of bariatric surgery and lifestyle weight management programs (WMPs) with fracture outcomes. They analyzed 15 studies, suggesting a possible increase in the risk of any fracture with bariatric surgery. The studies do not clarify the effect of lifestyle WMPs on the risk of any fracture.
