Bone material strength increases 1 year after gastric bypass
At 1 year following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, patients may see an improvement in bone material strength despite an increase in bone turnover and a decline in areal bone mineral density, a recent study has found. While this trend is similar in those with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D), improved glucose control is associated with increased bone material strength among T2D patients.
