Lifestyle interventions combining weight loss and exercise in older adults with obesity can reduce bone mineral density but may preserve or improve bone quality and strength, potentially mitigating osteoporosis risk. This suggests that carefully designed lifestyle changes can support bone health even during weight loss, emphasizing the importance of exercise alongside diet in maintaining skeletal integrity as we age.
