Gastric banding (GB) is considered an option to support weight loss for individuals who are unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. Exercise is an important element of maintaining gradual weight loss following GB. Dog walking may be one method to encourage exercise and contribute to continued weight loss. Over a 5-year period, 24 individuals aged between 31 and 58 years (21 female; 12 dog-owners) were weighed at 7 time points. Intention to treat MANOVA analysis showed both groups lost a significant amount of weight, F(6, 17) = 15.7, P = .001, η = .85, but no difference was observed between dog owners and non-dog owners, F(6, 17) = 0.66, P = .68, η = .19, although from 24 months postbanding, data indicated dog owners appear to weigh less than non-dog owners. Further longitudinal research is warranted beyond 5 year post-GB; and encouraging exercise through dog walking may be a useful adjunct to increasing activity and promoting weight loss following GB.
胃束带术(GB)被认为是一种帮助那些仅通过饮食和运动无法减肥的人减轻体重的选择。运动是GB术后维持体重逐渐减轻的重要因素。遛狗可能是鼓励运动并有助于持续减重的一种方法。在5年的时间里,对24名年龄在31至58岁之间的个体(21名女性;12名养狗者)在7个时间点进行了称重。意向性治疗多变量方差分析显示两组均显著减重,F(6, 17) = 15.7,P = .001,η = .85,但养狗者和非养狗者之间未观察到差异,F(6, 17) = 0.66,P = .68,η = .19,不过在束带术后24个月起,数据表明养狗者的体重似乎比非养狗者轻。GB术后5年以上有必要进行进一步的纵向研究;通过遛狗鼓励运动可能是增加GB术后活动量和促进减重的一种有益辅助手段。
