BONE LOSS
Long term intentional weight loss was associated with greater bone loss at the hip in men long term and in women in the shorter term. These results taken with the previously published Look AHEAD fracture data from the entire clinical trial showing increased frailty fracture risk in the ILI group with intentional weight loss suggest that when intentional weight loss is planned, consideration of bone density preservation and fracture prevention strategies is warranted.
