Sex-Specific Glucose Homeostasis and Anthropometric Responses to Sleeve Gastrectomy in Obese Patients.

ABSTRACT: Bariatric surgery rapidly and effectively treats obesity and its comorbidities like dysregulated glucose homeostasis. Despite the sex-balanced incidence of obesity in most human populations, women have sought this intervention more frequently than men. However, as the number of bariatric surgeries rapidly rises, it is increasingly urgent to understand how sex-specific differences may emerge in metabolic and anthropometric parameters. Hundred fifty-four obese patients (47% men and 53% women) from the Bialystok Bariatric Surgery Study underwent sleeve gastrectomy and were measured for 25 parameters at baseline (immediately prior to surgery) and at four follow-up visits over one year. We used generalized linear mixed models to detect sex-specific differences in the time series of responses pa
