The risk of sarcopenia 24 months after bariatric surgery - assessment by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA): a prospective study.

Abstract: Introduction: Bariatric procedures lead to changes in body composition. Desired fat loss may be accompanied by decrease of muscle mass, thus raising the risk of sarcopenia. Aim: To detect the risk of sarcopenia in patients 24 months after different bariatric/metabolic (B/M) procedures by DEXA. Material and methods: Consecutive patients scheduled for a B/M procedure underwent DEXA scan and anthropometric assessment before and 24 months after surgery in a prospective manner. Obtained data were tested for signifi… Show more

“…The retention and/or gain of fat-free mass, which largely reflects skeletal muscle, following bariatric surgery is important to maintain metabolism, support weight maintenance, and prevent complications such as sarcopenia [ 47 49 ]. Despite a loss of fat-free mass being expected following bariatric surgery [ 49 ] and observed early in the LSG cohort, the ESG cohort managed to increase fat-free mass at 6-months. Although the increase of approximately 0.3 kg was statistically significant, it is not clinically significant, so should be interpreted as maintaining fat-free mass only.…”

“…Furthermore, studies have shown that although bariatric surgery is effective at lowering the BMI, this procedure may also induce sarcopenia post-operatively. 22,23 Thus, with the known risks of sarcopenia shown within our study, it may be inadvisable to recommend bariatric surgery to improve BMI prior to undergoing complex revision thoracolumbar spine surgery.…”

“…The necessity of controlling diabetes treatment and dietary recommendations is widely known. However, it should not be forgotten that the consequences of the bariatric surgery bring the need to monitor a wide range of factors, such as the psychological aspect, the level of physical activity [ 10 ], and even the risk assessment of a planned pregnancy [ 11 ].…”
