Impact of Menopausal Status on Bone Metabolism and Body Composition After Metabolic-Bariatric Surgery: a Two-Year Prospective Study in Middle-Aged Women
Menopausal status shapes how women's bones and metabolism respond to weight-loss surgery, enabling personalized monitoring strategies.
This 2-year prospective study examines how menopausal status influences bone metabolism and body composition changes following metabolic-bariatric surgery, finding differential outcomes that inform tailored post-surgical monitoring recommendations for pre- vs. postmenopausal women. The results contribute to risk stratification frameworks for the growing bariatric surgery population and highlight the intersection of menopause-related bone loss with surgery-induced metabolic changes.
