Why Do We Lose Bone During Weight Loss: Can It Be Prevented?
Purpose of Review: Weight loss is recommended for obesity management, but it also increases bone turnover and reduces bone mineral density (BMD) and bone quality (microarchitecture, geometry, and strength). This review examines mechanism...
