Relationship among physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and cardiometabolic risk factors during gastric bypass surgery-induced weight loss.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of daily physical activity (PA) on the cardiometabolic risk of bariatric surgery patients is not known.

Objective

We examined the influence of physical activity and sedentary behavior on modifying cardiometabolic risk after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.

Setting

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and East Carolina University bariatric surgery centers.

Methods

Data from 43 women and 7 men who completed testing at 1-3 months after RYGB surgery and again at 9 months postsurgery were analyzed. Outcomes measured included PA level (min/d), steps/d, sedentary time, and body composition. Insulin sensitivity was determined with an intravenous glucose tolerance test. Weight and blood lipid profiles also were obtained.
