Assessment of Physical Fitness after Bariatric Surgery and Its Association with Protein Intake and Type of Cholecalciferol Supplementation

Abstract: : Background: Several studies showed that there is a relationship between vitamin and mineral status and muscle strength. In particular this is the case for handgrip strength (HS) and vitamin D deficiency. In bariatric surgery there is a risk of decrease in muscle strength after surgery and also vitamin and mineral deficiencies are not uncommon. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of low vitamin 25 (OH) cholecalciferol levels, high dose cholecalciferol supplementation regime and protein intake on phy… Show more

“…Laboratory values are mostly delayed and costly, and largely dependent on the analytic method and the analyzing laboratory [40]. However, handgrip strength and 20m shuttle run tests are simple and non-invasive markers, which make them suitable for daily clinical practice, especially as they are easy to measure and very cost-effective [41,42]. Many hospitals and health care centers have spacious rooms where the 20-m shuttle run test could be performed, while the handgrip strength test would only require a dynamometer.…”
