Abstract

Background/Objectives

Obesity is a major public health concern, significantly elevating the risk of developing comorbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardio-vascular diseases, while also shortening life expectancy. Currently, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is one of the most effective long-term interventions for achieving substantial weight loss, alongside notable improvements in overall quality of life. However, evidence suggests that these procedures may negatively affect bone health, leading to an increased risk of fractures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the role of Osteopontin (OPN) as a potential biomarker for predicting both persistent inflammation and bone deterioration following MBS.

Methods

A comprehensive search of scientific databases including PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase (OVID), and Web of Science, covering literature up to January 31, 2024, identified 6 studies that met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. For the meta-analysis, data from 5 studies measuring circulating OPN levels pre- and post-surgery were pooled.

Results

The combined analysis revealed a significant increase in OPN levels after MBS compared to baseline (OR: 24.56; 95 % CI: 13.30–35.81; p < 0.0001).

Conclusions

These findings suggest that OPN may serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring inflammation and assessing the risk of bone-related complications in patients following MBS.

期刊介绍： The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.
