Cognition in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycemia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Bariatric surgery, a highly effective treatment for obesity and associated comorbidities, may improve cognition and brain volume in parallel with cardiometabolic function. However, some post-bariatric individuals develop post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), which can be frequent and severe. The impact of recurrent hypoglycemia on cognition in PBH is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine whether individuals with PBH display reduced cognitive function compared with postsurgical counterparts without hypoglycemia.

Methods

Fourteen adults with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with hypoglycemia (PBH+, n = 7) or without PBH (PBH-, n = 7) completed assessments of memory, executive function, attention, and psychomotor speed.

Results

PBH+ individual
