Abstract
PURPOSE: Metabolic surgery and lifestyle intervention are two common methods used to treat obesity, but the effects of weight loss on bone mineral density (BMD) remain controversial. Our aim was to evaluate changes in BMD of the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine after weight loss caused by metabolic surgery or lifestyle intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published before 5 August 2020. The primary outcomes, including the BMD of the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine before and 12 months after metabolic surgery or lifestyle intervention, were extracted. RESULTS: A total of 19 studies with 1095 participants with obesity were included. Among them, 603 participants with obesity accepted metabolic surgery, while 492 accepted lifestyle intervention. At 12 months after weight loss, the BMD of the total hip decreased significantly in obese patients (mean difference [MD] = 0.06 g/cm2; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03 to 0.08; I2 = 67%; P < 0.001), while the BMD of the lumbar spine did not significantly change (P > 0.05). In the subgroup analysis, the BMD of the femoral neck decreased significantly at 12 months in obese patients who underwent metabolic surgery (MD = 0.08 g/cm2; 95% CI 0.04 to 0.13; I2 = 84%; P < 0.001), while it did not significantly change in obese patients who underwent lifestyle treatment (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Regardless of whether the patients underwent metabolic surgery or lifestyle treatment, the BMD of the total hip significantly decreased in obese patients after weight loss. Different methods used to lose weight may have different effects on the BMD of the femoral neck. Prospective studies, preferably randomized controlled trials (RCTs), are still required to investigate whether the effects of the two treatments on bone metabolism are truly different.
