Constraints of Weight Loss as a Marker of Bariatric Surgery Success: An Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate whether the degree of weight loss properly reflects improvements in cardiometabolic health among patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Methods

In this ancillary analysis from a clinical trial, patients were clustered into tertiles according to the magnitude of the percentage weight loss (1st tertile: "higher weight loss": -37.1 ± 5.8%; 2nd tertile: "moderate weight loss": -29.7 ± 1.4%; 3rd tertile: "lower weight loss": -24.2 ± 2.3%). Delta changes (9 months after surgery-baseline) in clustered cardiometabolic risk (i.e., blood pressure index, fasting glucose, high-density lipoprotein [HDL] and triglycerides [TG]), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR), and C-reactive protein
