Dieting without Exercise May Reduce Bone Density

December 18th, 2006

Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis recently published an article in the Archives of Internal Medicine that found people who dieted but did not exercise lost weight but ALSO lost bone density.  The group that both dieted and exercised lost almost as much weight but did not lose bone density.

The test was made over one year with two experimental groups (diet only and diet plus exercise) plus a control group.  Average age was 57.
