Summary

This study looks for the best way to prevent bone loss when older adults lose weight. About 900 people with extra weight and low bone mass will try a combination of exercise, a bone-strengthening drug (alendronate), and a calorie-restricted diet. The goal is to keep bones strong while reducing body weight over two years.
