Impact of obesity on bone metabolism.
Endocrinología y Nutrición : órgano de la Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición 2016 December
High weight is a protective factor against osteoporosis and risk of fracture.

Obesity interferes with bone metabolism through mechanical, hormonal, and inflammatory factors. These factors are closely related to weight, body composition, and dietary patterns of these patients. The net beneficial or harmful effect on bone mass or risk of fracture of the different components of this condition is not well known. We need to recognize patients at a greater risk of bone disease related to obesity to start an adequate intervention.
