That is partly true. There is no evidence that the bones are affected. But the joints are affected by that extra fat. Specially the weight bearing joints. Knee joint is specially affected. You try moving for few days with say ten KG weight on your body or shoulders. Then you will come to know the effect of this extra fat that you are carrying on your body, round the clock, for years.

The anatomical name for the jaw joint is the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It connects the mandible (lower jaw) to the temporal bone of the skull, allowing for movements essential for chewing and speaking. The joint is composed of an articular disc that helps absorb shock and facilitates smooth movement. TMJ disorders can lead to pain and dysfunction in jaw movement.
Aids.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Degenerative Bone Disease:Saying the Degenerative Bone Disease IS Osteoporosis is a misnomer, and NOT entirely correct. It would be better to say that Osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of degenerative bone disease; but DBD can be the result of several disorders/diseases that affects the bones. In addition to Osteoporosis, which can cause serious fractures; there are other diseases/disorders that can lead to bone degeneration, even cartilage loss - Vitamin D deficiency; chronic Kidney disease and Renal disease; Parathyroid disease; sever calcium deficiency; bone injuries; Spinal Spondylosis; Menopause; medications (some prescriptions can harm the bones); Jaw DBD either or both the mandible or maxilla (the following jaw disorders/disease can progress into DBD, Periodontal disease, cancer, tooth extractions spreading infection to the bone, an abbess infection spreading to the bone, jaw deformities, Osteonecrosis, and injury…); Obesity (can cause poor bone health which can lead to DBD); Paget 's disease (can lead to DBD, even bone cancer)… Bones are made up of healthy living cells which break down old bone tissues, thereby building new marrow and bone cells (Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts). When these cells can NO longer do the job that they are meant to do the bones can break down and weaken.Degenerative Bone Disease (DBD) is often confused with Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD):Degenerative bone disease not only causes damage to the bone, it can involve the joint. If the joint is involved, it can also cause deterioration to a joint's cartilage. Cartilage damage with DBD is secondary to its bone damage, because it is a disease of the bone that is primary. It is DBDs effect upon the bone that adds to the destruction of the cartilage. Once the cartilage is gone, it allows the two ends of the bone joint to rub together, thereby adding more corrosion of the weakened bone. The damage caused to the bone can become much more extensive once the cartilage of the joint is gone.Below are two types of Degenerative Joint Disease:Osteoarthritis - (This can add to DBD, but it is NOT the cause of it; it is Degenerative Joint Disease - DJD.)Rheumatoid Arthritis- (As with Osteoarthritis, this is degenerative joint disease - in overdrive! It causes serious inflammation in the joint and the surrounding tissues; this is what causes the extensive damage that is seen with this disease. RA causes serious deformities to the joint its connecting bone, as the bone and cartilage erodes. Rheumatoid Arthritis can add to DBD; it is NOT the cause it.)
The bone that connects the mandible to the temporal bone is the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It allows for movement of the jaw and is essential for functions like chewing and speaking. Issues with the TMJ can lead to conditions like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Displacement of a bone out of the socket is known as dislocation. It can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected joint. Immediate medical attention is needed to relocate the bone back into place and prevent further complications.
First of all pain and stiffness in the joint. if it is not brought under control it may lead to permanent cartilage ligament bone and muscle damage. It may eventualy lead to the deformation of the joint.
Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bone to bone in the body, providing stability to joints and limiting excessive movements. They help to reinforce the joint and prevent excessive motion that could lead to injury.
The talo-navicular joint is a synovial joint in the foot that connects the talus bone to the navicular bone. It plays a key role in the foot's ability to absorb shock and adapt to uneven surfaces during walking and running. Injuries or dysfunction in this joint can lead to pain and problems with foot mechanics.
Osteoarthritis can be responsible for the complete debilitation of the knee joint. which in turn can lead to the destruction of bone, muscle and other tissue in that area
Ankylosis is the stiffening or fusion of a joint due to abnormal growth of bone or connective tissue. It can be caused by conditions such as arthritis, injury, infection, or inflammation that disrupt the normal function of the joint and lead to the formation of excess bone.
As the cartilage between the joints is eliminated the bones begin to touch and wear directly into each other, the body will attempt to repair worn bone by growing more bone onto the bone on either side of the joint, this leads to the joint becoming more and more difficult to move as a lip of bone forms around the areas of friction. the result is that in time the joint gets so painful that it stops being moved leading to muscular atrophy which leads to it not being able to be moved. in the mean time the areas where bone is being replaces are in direct contact and start to join together as if it was one bone being rebuilt.
When a ligament tears as the bone slips out of place, it can lead to joint instability and reduced function. This can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the affected joint. In severe cases, surgery may be required to repair the torn ligament and restore stability to the joint.
