Can Routine Clinical Tests for Protein Intake and Physical Function Predict Successful Weight Loss?

Background: Protein intake and physical activity have a substantial impact on body composition weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery. The 24-h dietary recall 6-min walk test (6mWT) are frequently used to monitor protein activity, respectively. Despite its frequent use, it is unknown whether these tests can predict long-term loss. Methods: This retrospective study included 85 patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. was recorded using the function measured 6mWT. Data about total (TWL) nonresponse (i.e., insufficient regain) were collected up 5 years. Multiple regression analyses performed examine predictive value of 6mWT outcomes. Results: mean 1 year postoperatively 68.1 ± 15.0 g/day distance covered during 591.7 67.9 m. Both not significantly associated with TWL neither nonresponse. Conclusions: poor predictors for well-known advantages clinical tests, other monitoring suggested future research.
