Dietary Patterns and Nutritional Status in Bariatric Surgery Candidates-A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Observing a patient's dietary behaviour before bariatric surgery may help to predict their diet (and indirectly, the rate of weight loss) after the procedure. Consequently, the aim of this study was to identify dietary patterns (DPs) in bariatric surgery candidates, as well as to assess the relationship between DPs, degree of obesity, and body composition.

Methods

The participants were comprised of 117 bariatric surgery candidates. Data concerning their diet, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status was collected using the KomPAN^® questionnaire. The following three DPs were identified using a principal component analysis: 'Sandwiches & Sweets', 'Fast Food, Convenience Food & Alcohol' and 'Prudent'.
