Information is scarce on the five-year effect of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) on body composition for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with a low BMI. This study aimed to evaluate the five-year changes in body composition in a Chinese T2DM cohort with a BMI < 32.5 kg/m after LRYGB.
Twenty-seven T2DM patients were assessed preoperatively (baseline) and 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years after LRYGB with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
DXA assessments were completed in 100%, 85%, 85%, 85%, 48%, and 37% at baseline and 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, respectively. For the whole body, fat-free mass and muscle mass decreased from 6 months to 5 years after LRYGB (P < 0.05), while bone mineral content decreased at 5 years after LRYGB (P < 0.05). Fat mass of different regions decreased from 3 months to 1 year (P < 0.05), and a similar magnitude of variation was observed in body fat mass percentage. A fat redistribution characterized by the regional fat proportion of trunk and android decreasing and the regional fat proportion of limbs gaining (P < 0.05) occurred at 5 years after LRYGB.
For low BMI patients with T2DM, LRYGB led to a short-term reduction in FM and a lasting reduction in FFM. A metabolically healthy fat redistribution occurring 5 years after LRYGB might be a promising mechanism to explain the lasting benefits of LRYGB for T2DM patients with a low BMI.
对于 BMI 较低的 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)患者,腹腔镜 Roux-en-Y 胃旁路术(LRYGB)对身体成分的五年影响相关信息有限。本研究旨在评估 LRYGB 后 BMI<32.5kg/m2的中国 T2DM 患者五年内身体成分的变化。
27 例 T2DM 患者分别在术前(基线)和 LRYGB 后 3 个月、6 个月、1 年、3 年和 5 年时采用双能 X 线吸收法(DXA)进行评估。
DXA 评估在基线和 3 个月、6 个月、1 年、3 年和 5 年时分别完成了 100%、85%、85%、85%、48%和 37%。LRYGB 后 6 个月至 5 年间,全身无脂肪质量和肌肉质量下降(P<0.05),而骨矿物质含量在 LRYGB 后 5 年下降(P<0.05)。不同区域的脂肪量从 3 个月至 1 年减少(P<0.05),体脂百分比也出现了类似的变化幅度。LRYGB 后 5 年,出现了以躯干和内脏区域脂肪比例下降、四肢区域脂肪比例增加为特征的代谢健康型脂肪再分布(P<0.05)。
对于 BMI 较低的 T2DM 患者,LRYGB 导致 FM 短期减少和 FFM 持续减少。LRYGB 后 5 年发生的代谢健康型脂肪再分布可能是解释 LRYGB 对 BMI 较低的 T2DM 患者持续获益的一个有前途的机制。
