The sample size was selected based on the number of obese patients who underwent SG at our Bariatric Center of Excellence IFSO-EC over the last 12 months, and the end-time of evaluation was estimated independently due to the lack of high evidence-based studies, such as randomized trials or
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity and its associated complications represent an enormous burden for obese individuals, their families, healthcare systems and societies. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a frequent and serious complication of obesity.

The purpose of this study is to validate a revised food frequency questionnaire that is designed to capture vitamin D, calcium and protein intake in a population of elderly men and women with fragility fractures. Protein, calcium and protein intake will be correlated with biochemical measures and
EXPERIMENTAL PLAN Study Design The proposed study is a Phase 3, double-blinded, randomized controlled study. All of the 80 patients, both placebo and denosumab groups, will adhere to the same protocol. Patient screening will be performed by the orthopaedic surgeons (Donald Longjohn, MD and Daniel
