Weight loss injections, bones, muscles and metabolism: what does the evidence say?
With an estimated 2 million people in Great Britain using weight loss injections, understanding their potential impact on bone density, muscle mass, strength and pain is vital for clinicians. New research is constantly emerging. This talk will go beyond the headlines to explore how weight loss injections can impact bones, muscles and joints and why this matters for patients and the care of their musculo-skeletal system. The mechanisms for this and how it differs from traditional weight loss methods will be discussed. As well as drawbacks, research on potential benefits for joint and cardiovascular health, how this differs from traditional weight loss methods and why maintaining muscle mass is crucial for weight loss therapy efficacy and weight management will be presented. Practical information on how to maintain and improve bone density, muscle strength, joint pain and metabolic health whilst using weight loss injections will also be presented.
