Multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity demonstrate that GLP-1RA therapy either preserves or modestly increases bone mineral density (BMD) at key skeletal sites lumbar spine and hip, GLP-1RAs also favorably modulate bone turnover markers, increasing bone formation markers (P1NP, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) and reducing bone resorption markers (-CTX), suggesting a net positive or neutral effect on bone remodeling
