Bariatric Surgery's hidden impact on bone health revealed
NCT ID NCT05005039
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how two types of bariatric surgery (RYGB and SG) change bone marrow fat and bone loss in 40 postmenopausal women with obesity. Researchers will measure bone marrow fat before and after surgery and check for links to hormones, blood sugar, and bone markers. The goal is to understand why bone loss happens after surgery, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could clarify how different bariatric surgeries impact bone health, potentially guiding safer surgical choices for postmenopausal women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It aims to understand mechanisms, not test a treatment.
