Visceral Fat and Body Composition Changes in a Female Population After RYGBP: a Two-Year Follow-Up by DXA

“…Mudanças na composição corporal contribuem para mudanças na estrutura óssea após a cirurgia bariátrica (BAZZOCCHI et al, 2014). A perda de peso rápida em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias bariátricas podem levar a uma redução da massa corporal total (MCT), incluindo redução da massa magra (MM) e da massa gorda (MG) (CHAVES et al, 2005), sendo que estas alterações podem acasionar consequências na DMO.…”

“…The role of DXA is central in the study of body composition (BC) thanks to its ability to differentiate FM, non-bone lean mass (LM) and BMC at both the regional and the whole-body level ( Figure 2) (49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60). DXA relies on the use of two X-ray beams of different energy; the measurement of the "R value" is calculated as the ratio between the degree of attenuation of the lower energy and the higher energy beam.…”

Bone and muscle are two deeply interconnected organs and a strong relationship between them exists in their development and maintenance. The peak of both bone and muscle mass is achieved in early adulthood, followed by a progressive decline after the age of 40. The increase in life expectancy in developed countries resulted in an increase of degenerative diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population and are associated with a significant increase in healthcare costs. Several imaging techniques are currently available for the non-invasive investigation of bone and muscle mass and quality. Conventional radiology, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound often play a complementary role in the study of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, depicting different aspects of the same pathology. This paper presents the different imaging modalities currently used for the investigation of bone and muscle mass and quality in osteoporosis and sarcopenia with special emphasis on the clinical applications and limitations of each technique and with the intent to provide interesting insights into recent advances in the field of conventional imaging, novel high-resolution techniques and fracture risk.
