Study Summary
The long-term goal of this proposal is to understand the impact of obesity and obesity treatment on bone health during adolescence and how to preserve it. The recent pediatric obesity epidemic raises important clinical and public health questions about the effects of childhood-onset obesity and its treatment on bone health. Osteoporotic fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the aged, and peak bone mass (PBM), achieved shortly after puberty, is a key determinant of bone strength and lifetime fracture risk. Given the current obesity epidemic, obesity treatment during adolescence will continue to be necessary. The benefits of pediatric obesity treatment are unquestionable. However, the potential detrimental effects of weight loss on bone density and dimensions are not known in adolescents and are the focus of this proposal. This study will focus on the impact of pediatric-onset obesity and its treatment on bone health, using two approaches: comparing obese and non-obese adolescents and comparing obese adolescents before and after weight loss. We hypothesize that (a) compared to non-obese controls, obese adolescents have stronger bones, and that (b) bone strength of obese adolescents decreases during weight loss compared to usual care, which would suggest a need to promote bone health during successful weight loss in obese adolescents.
