Scientists test combo to stop bones from weakening during dieting

NCT ID NCT05764733

Summary

This study aims to find the best way to prevent bone loss that can happen when older adults with low bone density lose weight. It will test a combination of special weight-bearing exercises and a common bone-strengthening medication (alendronate) alongside a supervised weight loss program. About 900 participants will be followed for up to two years to see which strategy best protects their hip and spine bones.
