Metabolic Bone Disease

The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide with quite 500 million people estimated to be clinically obese worldwide. Obesity is a longtime risk factor for several cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory conditions and is taken into account to be a serious explanation for increased mortality. it's estimated that quite 30,000 deaths annually in England are attributed to obesity alone, taking over to 9 years off a traditional lifespan. The dramatic increase within the prevalence of obesity, including the poor long-term outcomes of current nonsurgical treatment, has led to a rapid climb within the number of bariatric procedures performed worldwide. Data from the USA and Europe indicate that the amount of bariatric procedures performed has increased exponentially. The beneficial effects of bariatric surgery are clearly demonstrated and a few of the short and future complications are extensively investigated the info on the long-term effects on bone metabolism are scarce. it's widely accepted that bariatric surgery is probably going to put the patient in danger of developing metabolic bone disease, whether that's by reducing the intake of calcium or vitamin D or by impairing its absorption. This paper will review the present literature for further information on this clinically relevant issue.
