Bariatric surgery (BS) induces loss of body fat mass (FM) with an inexorable loss of lean mass (LM). Menopause leads to deleterious changes in body composition (BC) related to estrogen deficiency including LM loss and increase in total and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). This study aims to describe the long-term weight evolution of post-menopausal women after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and to compare the BC between BS patients vs post-menopausal non-operated women.
Cross-sectional study of 60 post-menopausal women who underwent RYGB ≥2 years prior to the study with nested case-control design.
Post-menopausal BS women were matched for age and BMI with controls. Both groups underwent DXA scan, lipids and glucose metabolism markers assessment.
Median follow-up was 7.5 (2-18) years. Percentage of total weight loss (TWL%) was 28.5 ± 10%. After RYGB, LM percentage of body weight (LM%) was positively associated with TWL% and negatively associated with nadir weight. Forty-one post-BS women were age- and BMI-matched with controls. Post-BS patients showed higher LM% (57.7% (±8%) vs 52.5% (±5%), P = 0.001), reduced FM% (39.4% (±8.4%) vs 45.9% (±5.4%), P < 0.01) and lower VAT (750.6 g (±496) vs 1295.3 g (±688), P < 0.01) with no difference in absolute LM compared to controls. While post-BS women showed a better lipid profile compared to controls, no difference was found in glucose markers.
Post-menopausal women after RYGB have a lower FM and VAT, preserved LM and a better lipid profile compared to controls. Weight loss after RYGB seems to have a persistent positive impact on metabolic health.
减重手术(BS)会导致体脂肪量(FM)不可避免地减少,同时也会导致去脂体重(LM)减少。绝经会导致与雌激素缺乏相关的身体成分(BC)发生有害变化,包括 LM 减少和总脂肪组织和内脏脂肪组织(VAT)增加。本研究旨在描述绝经后女性接受 Roux-en-Y 胃旁路术(RYGB)后长期的体重变化,并比较 BS 患者与未接受手术的绝经后女性之间的 BC。
对 60 名绝经后女性进行回顾性研究,这些女性在研究前至少接受了 2 年的 RYGB,采用嵌套病例对照设计。
绝经后 BS 女性按年龄和 BMI 与对照组匹配。两组均接受 DXA 扫描、血脂和葡萄糖代谢标志物评估。
中位随访时间为 7.5(2-18)年。总减重百分比(TWL%)为 28.5±10%。RYGB 后,LM 体重百分比(LM%)与 TWL%呈正相关,与体重最低点呈负相关。41 名 BS 后女性与对照组按年龄和 BMI 匹配。BS 后患者的 LM%更高(57.7%(±8%)比 52.5%(±5%),P=0.001),FM%更低(39.4%(±8.4%)比 45.9%(±5.4%),P<0.01),VAT 更低(750.6g(±496)比 1295.3g(±688),P<0.01),与对照组相比,LM 的绝对值没有差异。虽然 BS 后女性的血脂谱优于对照组,但血糖标志物无差异。
与对照组相比,RYGB 后的绝经后女性 FM 和 VAT 较低,LM 保留,血脂谱更好。RYGB 后的体重减轻似乎对代谢健康有持续的积极影响。
