Description
Hyuk Lee writes about a stomach germ and its possible link to bone loss. His 2026 piece covers Helicobacter pylori, a germ best known for gut disease. Studies have tied the germ to a higher risk of thin bones. Yet reviews of those studies gave mixed results. Most work so far could not show cause over time.
Lee points to a new study in the same journal, by Kim and co-authors. It followed people for twenty years. In all, 730 people cleared the germ, while 116 stayed infected. There were 179 new cases of thin bone disease in that span. The piece asks for trials that test whether clearing the germ helps keep bones strong, and whether the effect differs by sex.
