چکیده

Background: The study of body composition in patient candidates for bariatric surgery is directly related to the increase and distribution of body fat in the development of cardiovascular disease. Aim: To correlate anthropometric indicators and bioelectrical impedance in the assessment of body fat in female candidates for bariatric surgery. Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study of 88 women. The weight, height, body mass index and waist circumference data were evaluated in the anthropometric analysis. The body fat was determinate by bioelectrical impedance conducted according to the manufacturer´s recommended technique with a specific severe obesity formula. The patients were divided into two subgroups according to the average waist circumference and body mass index for better analysis of the results. Results: The group had a mean age of 39.7 years (±7.2), average weight of 125.6 kg (±16.2), mean body mass index of 48.7 kg/m2 (±6.4) and the mean waist circumference 137.6 cm (±12.4). Negative and significant relationship between BMI values waist circumference and resistance obtained by bioelectrical impedance ​​were found. By analyzing the two groups the mean BMI and waist circumference, a significant relationship was observed, ie, the higher the degree of obesity less resistance was obtained by bioelectrical impedance. The higher is the obesity the lower is value found for resistance. Conclusion: The increase of anthropometric indicators (BMI and waist circumference) determined reduction in resistance and reactance obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis in obese women candidates to bariatric surgery. Racional: O estudo da composição corporal em pacientes candidatas à cirurgia bariátrica tem relação direta com o aumento e distribuição da gordura corporal e no desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares. Objetivo: Estudar a correlação entre indicadores antropométricos e da bioimpedância elétrica na avaliação da gordura corporal em mulheres candidatas à cirurgia bariátrica. Métodos: Estudo transversal, observacional com 88 pacientes. Na análise antropométrica foram avaliados os dados de peso, altura, IMC e circunferência da cintura. Para bioimpedância elétrica utilizou-se a técnica recomendada pelo fabricante do aparelho e fórmula específica para obeso grave na determinação da gordura corporal. Para melhor análise dos resultados as pacientes foram divididas em dois subgrupos de acordo com a média de circunferência da cintura e IMC. Resultados: O grupo apresentou média de idade 39,7 anos (±7,2), média de peso 125,6 kg (±16,2), média de IMC 48,7 kg/m2 (±6,4) e média de circunferência da cintura 137,6 cm (±12,4). Foram encontradas relações negativas e significativas entre os valores de IMC, circunferência da cintura e a resistência obtida através da bioimpedância elétrica. Ao analisar os dois subgrupos de valores médios de IMC e circunferência da cintura, observou-se relação significativa, ou seja, quanto maior o grau de obesidade menor é a resistência obtida através da bioimpedância elétrica. Conclusão: O aumento dos indicadores antropométricos (IMC e circunferência da cintura) determinaram redução nas variáveis resistência e reatância obtidas pela bioimpedância elétrica em mulheres candidatas à cirurgia bariátrica.

Serum cystatin C in relation to fat mass loss after bariatric surgery.

UNLABELLED Serum cystatin C concentration, generally accepted as renal function marker, is associated with cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Recent studies indicate that cystatin C increases in human obesity and that adipose tissue contributes to enhanced serum cystatin C concentration in obese subjects. The aim of the study was to assess whether a reduction in body and fat mass after...

Changes in Fat Intake, Body Fat Composition and Intra-Abdominal Fat after Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is considered to be the effective treatment alternative conducted over the lifetime for reducing weight in patients with clinically morbid obesity. For many patients, the benefits of weight loss, including decreases in blood glucose, lipids, and blood pressure as well as increase in mobility, will outweigh the risks of surgical complications. But patients undergoing bariatric ...
