Effect of obesity on bone metabolism

Abstract

The review of current literature presents data on the prevalence of obesity and its impact on bone metabolism. These results suggest that there is a complex multilevel relationship between the skeletal system, adipose tissue and energy metabolism. However, informational analysis of the problem has shown that there are still many unresolved issues regarding the relationship between metabolic and osteopenic syndromes. At the same time, studies of the state of the skeletal system in metabolic syndrome and obesity can contribute to a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of osteopenic syndrome to develop its treatment and prevention.
