Psychosocial predictors of weight loss and psychological adjustment following bariatric surgery and a weight‐loss program: The mediating role of emotional eating

Abstract

Both NP and EE predict outcome of obesity treatments, but EE is the more proximal variable that mediates the effect of NP.

The effectiveness of bariatric surgery on long term psychosocial quality of life – A systematic review

“…At 1 year follow up, all three studies found that both the BS and non-surgical treatment groups experienced QoL improvements over time and evidenced more significant weight loss in the BS groups. Specific to SF-36 scores, the BS patients in Canetti et al [55] showed significantly greater improvement in every QoL subscale compared to the diet group. The diet group showed significant improvements in three of the eight SF-36 subscales (subscales unspecified) and the total score over the year.…”

“…The majority of participants in the studies were female and mean age ranged from 39 years [55] to 48 years [39] which is representative of the BS population in the UK [14] Group differences in baseline characteristics were noted in most of the studies apart from the four controlled trials [51,52,56,39] and Buddeberg-Fischer et al [54]. The general trend being that the surgery group tended to be significantly younger, with greater weight or BMI than the no surgery group [55] or population based obese control group [57][58][59][60]. Batsis et al [53] reported more males, lower incidence of diabetes and lower BMI in their no surgery group compared to the surgery group.…”

“…Duration of QoL follow-up ranged from 12 months [51,52,55] to 10 years [39] however, most studies followed up participants between 2 to 6 years (Table 1). To assess long term effectiveness of BS on psychosocial QoL, QoL outcomes between BS and non-surgical interventions were compared over time.…”

“…Four studies were identified in this group, namely two RCTs [51,52], a prospective cohort study [55] and one controlled trial [39], reporting QoL outcomes over a 1 year follow up period [51,52,55] and at 10 years [39]. Canetti et al [55] examined psychosocial factors on the treatment outcomes of BS and a weight-loss program (which combined diet, behaviour modification and exercise).…”

“…Canetti et al [55] examined psychosocial factors on the treatment outcomes of BS and a weight-loss program (which combined diet, behaviour modification and exercise). The RCTs assessed QoL outcomes in obese Type 2 Diabetic patients following LAGB [51] or RYGBP [52] compared to an intensive diabetes medical weight management program (WhyWAIT).…”
