Abstract
Postbariatric loss of muscle tissue could negatively affect long-term health due to its role in various bodily processes, such as metabolism and functional capacity. This meta-analysis aimed to unravel time-dependent changes in the magnitude and progress of lean body mass (LBM), fat-free mass (FFM), and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) loss following bariatric surgery. A systematic literature search was conducted in Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science. Fifty-nine studies assessed LBM (n = 37), FFM (n = 20), or SMM (n = 3) preoperatively and ≥1 time points postsurgery. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed to determine pooled loss per outcome parameter and follow-up time point. At 12-month postsurgery, pooled LBM loss was -8.13 kg [95%CI -9.01; -7.26]. FFM loss and SMM loss were -8.23 kg [95%CI -10.74; -5.73] and -3.18 kg [95%CI -5.64; -0.71], respectively. About 55% of 12-month LBM loss occurred within 3-month postsurgery, followed by a more gradual decrease up to 12 months. Similar patterns were seen for FFM and SMM. In conclusion, >8 kg of LBM and FFM loss was observed within 1-year postsurgery. LBM, FFM, and SMM were predominantly lost within 3-month postsurgery, highlighting that interventions to mitigate such losses should be implemented perioperatively.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health challenge that warrants effective treatments to avoid its multiple comorbidities. Bariatric surgery, a cornerstone treatment to control bodyweight excess and relieve the health-related burdens of obesity, can promote accelerated bone loss and affect skeletal strength, particularly after malabsorptive and mixed surgical procedures, and probably after restrictive surgeries. The increase in bone resorption markers occurs early and persist for up to 12 months or longer after bariatric surgery, while bone formation markers increase but to a lesser extent, suggesting a potential uncoupling process between resorption and formation. The skeletal response to bariatric surgery, as investigated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), has shown significant loss in bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip with less consistent results for the lumbar spine. Supporting DXA studies, analyses by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) showed lower cortical density and thickness, higher cortical porosity, and lower trabecular density and number for up to 5 years after bariatric surgery. These alterations translate into an increased risk of fall injury, which contributes to increase the fracture risk in patients who have been subjected to bariatric surgery procedures. As bone deterioration continues for years following bariatric surgery, the fracture risk does not seem to be dependent on acute weight loss but, rather, is a chronic condition with an increasing impact over time. Among the post-bariatric surgery mechanisms that have been claimed to act globally on bone health, there is evidence that micro- and macro-nutrient malabsorptive factors, mechanical unloading and changes in molecules partaking in the crosstalk between adipose tissue, bone and muscle may play a determining role. Given these circumstances, it is conceivable that bone health should be adequately investigated in candidates to bariatric surgery through bone-specific work-up and dedicated postsurgical follow-up. Specific protocols of nutrients supplementation, motor activity, structured rehabilitative programs and, when needed, targeted therapeutic strategies should be deemed as an integral part of post-bariatric surgery clinical support.

Abstract
CONTEXT Numerous studies have demonstrated detrimental skeletal consequences following bariatric surgery. METHODS A working group of the European Calcified Tissue Society (ECTS) performed an updated review of existing literature on changes of bone turnover markers (BTMs), bone mineral density (BMD), and fracture risk following bariatric surgery and provided advice on management based on expert opinion. LITERATURE REVIEW Based on observational studies, bariatric surgery is associated with a 21-44% higher risk of all fractures. Fracture risk is time-dependent and increases approximately 3 years after bariatric surgery. The bariatric procedures that have a malabsorptive component (including Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (RYGB) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD)) have clearly been associated with the highest risk of fracture. The extent of high-turnover bone loss suggests a severe skeletal insult. This is associated with diminished bone strength and compromised microarchitecture. RYGB was the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide until very recently, when sleeve gastrectomy (SG) became more prominent. There is growing evidence that RYGB is associated with greater reduction in BMD, greater increase in BTMs, and higher risk of fractures compared with SG but RCTs on optimal management are still lacking. EXPERT OPINION In all patients, it is mandatory to treat vitamin D deficiency, to achieve adequate daily calcium and protein intake and to promote physical activity before and following bariatric surgery. In post-menopausal women and men older than 50 years, osteoporosis treatment would be reasonable in the presence of any of the following criteria: i) history of recent fragility fracture after 40 years of age, ii) BMD T-score ≤ -2 at hip or spine, iii) FRAX score with femoral neck BMD exceeding 20% for the 10-year major osteoporotic fracture probability or exceeding 3% for hip fracture. Zoledronate as first choice should be preferred due to intolerance of oral formulations and malabsorption. Zoledronate should be used with caution due to hypocemia risk. It is recommended to ensure adequate 25-OH vitamin D level and calcium supplementation before administering zoledronate. CONCLUSIONS The bariatric procedures that have a malabsorptive component have been associated with the highest turnover bone loss and risk of fracture. There is a knowledge gap on osteoporosis treatment in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. More research is necessary to direct and support guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still debated whether differences in bone turnover markers (BTMs) exist between the 2 most popular bariatric surgery procedures (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] and sleeve gastrectomy [SG]). OBJECTIVES To compare changes in BTMs after RYGB and SG, and to investigate their association with predefined markers of interest. SETTING University hospital, Lille, France. METHODS An ancillary investigation of a prospective cohort was conducted. SG patients with severe obesity ≥40 years were matched one-to-one to RYGB patients for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and menopausal status. BTMs, as well as predefined markers of interest, were measured at baseline, 12, and 24 months after bariatric surgery. RESULTS Sixty-four patients (66% women) had a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 49.6 years (5.1) and a mean (SD) BMI of 45.0 kg/m2 (6.0). From baseline to 12 months, a significant increase in BTMs was observed in both groups (P < .001). Moreover, RYGB was associated with a greater increase in C-terminal telopeptide (β-CTX) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (PINP) compared with SG (P < .0001). From 12 to 24 months, a significant decrease in BTMs was observed in both groups, but no significant differences were found between RYGB and SG. However, BTMs did not return to baseline levels. The changes in PINP and β-CTX at 12 months were independently associated with the type of surgical procedure, after adjusting for weight or each predefined marker of interest (all P < .0001). CONCLUSION RYGB was associated with a greater increase in BTMs than SG at 12 and 24 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mechanical unloading associated with weight loss might be one of the main causes for bariatric surgery (BS) induced bone loss. However, no study has tested this hypothesis through objectively measured accelerometry-derived gravitational loading. We aimed to assess how gravitational loading changes following BS and how this correlates with bone mass losses. METHODS Twenty-one patients submitted to gastric bypass were assessed before, 1, 6 and 12 months after BS for areal bone mineral density (BMD), calciotropic hormones, sclerostin, body composition and daily physical activity. Gravitational loading was determined as the sum of ground reaction forces assessed by accelerometer which considered the interaction between weight and daily ambulation. RESULTS Mechanical stimuli promoted through the significant increase in steps number counterbalanced the gravitational loading decreases derived from the significant weight loss after BS. Gravitational loading volume decreased between pre-BS and 1 month post-BS (-2215 kN·d-1; p = .023), but remained stable between 6 and 12 months post-BS, despite decreases on hip (-7.0%; p < .001), femoral neck (-8.8%; p < .001) and lumbar spine (-5.2%; p < .001) BMD. Serum sclerostin increased from pre-BS to 1 month post-BS (+0.118 ng·mL-1; p = .021), returning to pre-BS levels 6 months after surgery. Neither vitamin D nor parathyroid hormone were affected by BS. Weight variation was a predictor of BMD decreases at total hip (R2 = 0.06; p = .026) and femoral neck (R2 = 0.12; p = .022), whereas daily gravitational loading volume was not. Fat and lean mass changes were also predictors of BMD decrease at total hip (R2 = 0.05; p = .031) and femoral neck (R2 = 0.14; p = .010), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that gravitational loading only decreased during the first month after surgery remaining stable thereafter, and these changes do not seem to explain BS-induced bone loss. The association between weight and bone loss seems to result from other physiological aspects, fat and lean mass loss, rather than from gravitational loading decrease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of adequate vitamin D supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) following long limb-biliopancreatic diversion (LL-BPD), a malabsorptive bariatric operation. BACKGROUND Marked weight loss following bariatric surgery is associated with significant decrease in BMD, attributed to the weight loss and to nutritional, mineral, and vitamin D deficiencies resulting in secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS Two groups, of 35 and 37 healthy, obese (BMI, 50.4 + 6.6 and 46.5 + 4.8 g/cm2), premenopausal, normally menstruating women underwent LL-BPD. Both groups received high-calcium diets, 600 IU of vitamin D, and 1000 mg elemental calcium daily, while group B received an extra dose of vitamin D (10,000 IU/day) during the first postoperative month, followed by dose adjustment in order to maintain 25OHD concentration higher than 30 μg/L. Areal BMD (aBMD) was measured at the lumbar spine preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS One year postoperatively, BMI decreased by approximately 19 kg/m2 in both groups, while 25-OH-vitamin D levels did not change in group A (18.7 + 9.1 to 20.2 + 13.0 μg/L, (p = 0.57)) and increased in group B (15.58 ± 5.73 to 52.97 ± 15.46 μg/L, (p = < 0.001). PTH levels increased in group A (from 38.5 ± 12.2 to 51.2 ± 32.8 pg/ml) (p = 0.047) and decreased in group B (from 51.61 ± 18.7 to 45.1 ± 17.8 pg/ml) (p = 0.042). Lumbar spine aBMD decreased similarly in both groups (p = 0.311, for the comparison between groups) from 1.198 + 0.14 to 1.103 + 0.15 g/cm2 in group A (p < 0.001) and from 1.157 + 0.14 to 1.076 + 0.14 g/cm2 in group B (p < 0.001) and Z-score from 0.93 + 0.97 to 0.19 + 1.02, (p < 0.001) and from 1.15 + 1.29 to 0.419 + 1.28, (p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS LL-BPD leads to similar and significant bone mass reduction 1 year postoperatively, irrespective of adequate vitamin D replacement and in the absence of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone may regulate glucose homeostasis via uncarboxylated bioactive osteocalcin (ucOCN). This study explored whether changes in ucOCN and bone remodeling are associated with change in glucose homeostasis after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). METHODS In this secondary exploratory analysis of a 1-year prospective observational study, 16 participants (11 men/5 women; 69% with type 2 diabetes; mean BMI 49.4 kg/m2) were assessed before, 3 days, 3 months and 12 months after BPD. Changes in plasma ucOCN and bone markers (C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), total osteocalcin (OCN)) were correlated with changes in insulin resistance or sensitivity indices (HOMA-IR; adipose tissue insulin resistance index (ADIPO-IR) and insulin sensitivity index (SI) from the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp), insulin secretion rate (ISR) from the hyperglycemic clamp, and disposition index (DI: SI × ISR) using Spearman correlations before and after adjustment for weight loss. RESULTS ucOCN was unchanged at 3 days but increased dramatically at 3 months (+257%) and 12 months (+498%). Change in ucOCN correlated significantly with change in CTX at 3 months (r = 0.62, p = 0.015) and 12 months (r = 0.64, p = 0.025) before adjustment for weight loss. It also correlated significantly with change in fasting insulin (r = -0.53, p = 0.035), HOMA-IR (r = -0.54, p = 0.033) and SI (r = 0.52, p = 0.041) at 3 days, and ADIPO-IR (r = -0.69, p = 0.003) and HbA1c (r = -0.69, p = 0.005) at 3 months. Change in OCN did not correlate with any glucose homeostasis indices. Results were similar after adjustment for weight loss. CONCLUSION The increase in ucOCN may be associated with the improvement in insulin resistance after BPD, independently of weight loss. These findings need to be confirmed in larger, less heterogeneous populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review outlines the recent findings regarding the impact of bariatric surgery on bone. It explores potential mechanisms for skeletal changes following bariatric surgery and strategies for management. RECENT FINDINGS Bone loss following bariatric surgery is multifactorial. Probable mechanisms include skeletal unloading, abnormalities in calciotropic hormones, and changes in gut hormones. Skeletal changes that occur after bariatric surgery are specific to procedure type and persist for several years post-operatively. Studies suggest that while bone loss begins early, fracture risk may be increased later in the post-operative course, particularly after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Further research is needed to assess the extent to which skeletal changes following bariatric surgery result in fragility. Current management should be geared toward prevention of bone loss, correction of nutritional deficiencies, and incorporation of weight bearing exercise. Pharmacologic treatment should be considered for high-risk patients.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OCN) is a bone-derived hormone involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism. In serum, OCN exists in carboxylated and uncarboxylated forms (ucOCN), and studies in rodents suggest that ucOCN is the bioactive form of this hormone. Whether this is also the case in humans is unclear, because a reliable assay to measure ucOCN is not available. Here, we established and validated a new immunoassay (ELISA) measuring human ucOCN and used it to determine the level of bioactive OCN in two cohorts of overweight or obese subjects, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). The ELISA could specifically detect ucOCN concentrations ranging from 0.037 to 1.8 ng/mL. In a first cohort of overweight or obese postmenopausal women without diabetes (n = 132), ucOCN correlated negatively with fasting glucose (r = -0.18, P = 0.042) and insulin resistance assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (r = -0.18, P = 0.038) and positively with insulin sensitivity assessed by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (r = 0.18, P = 0.043) or insulin sensitivity index derived from an oral glucose tolerance test (r = 0.26, P = 0.003). In a second cohort of subjects with severe obesity (n = 16), ucOCN was found to be lower in subjects with T2D compared with those without T2D (2.76 ± 0.38 versus 4.52 ± 0.06 ng/mL, P = 0.009) and to negatively correlate with fasting glucose (r = -0.50, P = 0.046) and glycated hemoglobin (r = -0.57, P = 0.021). Moreover, the subjects with ucOCN levels below 3 ng/mL had a reduced insulin secretion rate during a hyperglycemic clamp (P = 0.03). In conclusion, ucOCN measured with this novel and specific assay is inversely associated with insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction in humans.
