Kosisochi M. Obinwanne, Kevin P. Riess, Kara J. Kallies, Michelle A. Mathiason, Brian R. Manske, Shanu N. Kothari. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2014;10;1056-1062.
A. Peak bone mass is achieved in the 3rd decade of life. B. There is a steady increase in bone mass as menopause approaches. C. Estrogen plays a crucial role in the inhibition of bone formation. D. Compared to premenopausal women, menopausal women have a greater resistance to bone loss after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. E. After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the lumbar spine has been shown to be most prone to bone loss.
Learning Objectives
To understand the impact of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on bone loss.
To understand the significance of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in gastric bypass patients.
To understand the important role played by calcium, vitamin D, and PTH in bone health.
To understand the complex relationship between obesity and osteoporosis. Question 1 Which of the following is a mechanism by which obesity contributes to bone loss? A. Decreased adipocyte differentiation leading to a concomitant decrease in osteoclast differentiation B. Mechanical loading which increases the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts C. Increased osteoclastic activity due to the upregulation of certain proinflammatory cytokines D. Increased levels of free sex steroids E. Associated hyperinsulinemia
Question 4 Which of the following statements regarding vitamin D is false? A. Deficiency in morbidly obese patients may occur as a result of sequestration in adipose tissue. B. Vitamin D deficiency may trigger increased production of parathyroid hormone. C. Ingested vitamin D is principally absorbed in the small intestine. D. Deficiency in morbidly obese patients may occur as a result of vitamin D sequestration in bone. E. Preoperative vitamin D deficiency is a predictor for deficiency after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Question 2 Regarding markers of bone turnover, which of the following statements is false? A. Osteocalcin is a marker for bone formation. B. Bone alkaline phosphatase is a marker of bone formation. C. Serum calcium level is not a reliable marker of bone turnover. D. Urinary cross-linked N-telopeptide (NTX) is a marker of bone resorption. E. PTH levels post-gastric bypass remain the same.
