[PMID: 39755772 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07569-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2024] [Revised: 10/17/2024] [Accepted: 10/29/2024] [Indexed: 01/06/2025]
Abstract
This study reviews the prevalence of copper (Cu) deficiency in patients for metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), as well as the long-term outcomes related to the prevalence of Cu deficiency after undergoing MBS. A systematic literature search and meta-analysis were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus for articles published by August 31, 2024. The search terms included metabolic and bariatric surgery, weight loss surgery, metabolic surgery, obesity surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, duodenojejunal bypass, copper, copper deficiency, and hypocuposemia. After PRISMA screening, 43 studies with a total of 49 patients with obesity were included in this meta-analysis. The results demonstrated that the prevalence of Cu deficiency after MBS at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year follow-up was found to be 16%, 28%, 21%, and 16%, respectively. Additionally, hypocuposemia was observed to be more prevalent in patients with BPD compared with other types of surgery. Copper deficiency is frequently observed in patients following MBS, particularly those who have undergone BPD procedures. Therefore, it is imperative for patients to undergo postoperative follow-up and nutritional monitoring, along with targeted interventions.

Nutritional Deficiencies Before and After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Patients Above 50.0 kg/m 2: A Single Center Study. JOURNAL OF METABOLIC AND BARIATRIC SURGERY 2024; 13:59-70. [PMID: 39802595 PMCID: PMC11717991 DOI: 10.17476/jmbs.2024.13.2.59] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2024] [Revised: 12/04/2024] [Accepted: 12/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2025]
Abstract
Purpose Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective treatment for patients with body mass index (BMI) above 50.0 kg/m2 but nutritional deficiencies (ND) may arise. This study aimed to assess if patients with BMI above 50.0 kg/m2 have more ND and require more supplementation after MBS compared to patients in lower BMI groups. Materials and Methods Retrospective single center study including all patients submitted to MBS from 2019-2020. Several parameters were collected. Statistical analysis was performed to compare ND between BMI groups (<40.0 kg/m2; 40.0 to 49.9 kg/m2; ≥50.0 kg/m2), and between surgeries (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] vs. sleeve gastrectomy [SG]) in the group with BMI ≥50.0 kg/m2. Results We identified 951 patients, 85 (9.0%) with BMI ≥50.0 kg/m2, with RYGB performed in 644 (68.4%) patients. Pre-operatively, vitamin D deficiency was observed in 80.0% of patients with BMI ≥50.0 kg/m2, with significant differences between BMI groups. At follow-up there were no significant differences in ND according to BMI groups. In patients with BMI ≥50.0 kg/m2, vitamin B12 deficiency was more frequent after RYGB. At 2-year follow-up, 95.4% patients were taking multivitamin supplementation, and 52.4% required additional supplements, namely vitamin D. Conclusion ND are common in patients with BMI ≥50.0 kg/m2, even before MBS. After surgery, patients with BMI ≥50.0 kg/m2 may not have increased risk for ND, compared to other BMI groups. In these patients, RYGB resulted in an increased risk for vitamin B12 deficiency. Adequate supplementation and clinical follow-up are essential to mitigate these complications.

Transferrin Saturation, Serum Ferritin, and C-Reactive Protein vs. Serum Ferritin for an optimal Iron Deficiency Diagnosis in Candidates for Bariatric Surgery. Obes Surg 2024; 34:1174-1184. [PMID: 38367125 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07081-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Iron has different physiological processes and is regulated by hepcidin that is also an acute phase reactant, which increases with inflammation. Obesity produces a pro-inflammatory state, affecting directly the normal regulation of iron, causing ferritin (FER) deficiency. FER is used as the only indicator of the status of iron in patients with obesity, so the majority of them would be underdiagnosed, leading to a high prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and anemia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic tests: transferrin saturation (TS), FER, and C-reactive protein (CRP) vs. FER with the objective of analyzing the most accurate variable for the diagnosis of ID. MATERIALS AND METHODS We present a cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective study, evaluating the diagnostic tests in 96 patients, to whom two methods were applied for the diagnosis of ID: method 1 (FER < 30 ng/mL) and method 2 divided into 2A (FER < 30 ng/mL), 2B (FER 30-100 ng/mL + CRP ≥ 5 mg/L), 2C (FER 100-300 ng/mL + CRP ≥ 5 mg/L + TS < 20%), and 2D (TS < 20%). RESULTS The prevalence of ID obtained using method 1 was 30.2% while 69.8% presented ID using total method 2, confirming an underdiagnosis of 39.6%. CONCLUSION The inflammatory state in patients with obesity must be considered in the diagnosis of ID. The use of TS, FER, and CRP has greater validity than the use of serum FER for the diagnosis of ID in patients with obesity.

The Effect of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Serum Levels of Vitamin A, D and B12 and Iron Profile on Patients with Morbid Obesity. Adv Biomed Res 2023; 12:211. [PMID: 38073759 PMCID: PMC10699212 DOI: 10.4103/abr.abr_166_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the concerns after bariatric surgery is the lack of nutrients and vitamins due to anatomical and physiological changes that occur after the surgery. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on these nutrients and vitamins. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was performed in Tehran and all the patients who met the inclusion criteria before the surgery were tested for serum levels of vitamins A, B12, D, ferritin, serum iron, and TIBC. The patients were tested once again for the same micronutrients, one year after surgery. RESULTS A total of 120 patients had the inclusion criteria and all of them completed the follow-up period. Of the patients, 64.2% (77 patients) were female and 35.8% (43 patients) were male. The mean weight of the patients was 122.1 ± 14.8 kg and the mean BMI of patients before surgery was 43.6 ± 4.4 kg/m2. Comparing these parameters before and after surgery showed that serum levels of vitamins A and B12, ferritin, and TIBC were not significantly different from before surgery. However, vitamin D levels after surgery were significantly higher than before (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The result of the present study demonstrated that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most effective surgical methods for obesity treatment and does not cause a lack of nutrients and vitamins in long term and does not require supplementation. In addition, it promotes serum levels of vitamin D, which is effective in preventing the effects of vitamin D deficiency in obese patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Managing nutritional deficiencies is an essential component in the treatment of severe obesity. Vitamin D deficiency is often reported in investigations in severely obese cohorts. However, no prior study has summarized findings on this topic. Consequently, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] status in individuals with severe obesity in different regions worldwide. We also evaluated levels of calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and magnesium as secondary outcome measures. METHODS We searched Medline, PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE for relevant observational studies published in English from 2009 to October 2021. The heterogeneity index among the studies was determined using the Cochran (Q) and I2 tests. Based on the heterogeneity results, the random-effect model was applied to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. RESULTS We identified 109 eligible observational studies. Overall, 59.44% of patients had vitamin D deficiency [25(OH)D <20 ng/mL], whereas 26.95% had vitamin D insufficiency [25(OH)D 20-30 ng/mL]. Moreover, the mean 25(OH)D level was 18.65 ng/mL in 96 studies. The pooled mean estimate of the serum calcium, PTH, and magnesium was 9.26 mg/dL (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.19-9.32, I2 = 99.7%, p < 0.001), 59.24 pg/mL (95% CI: 54.98, 63.51, I2 = 99.7%, p < 0.001), and 0.91 mg/dL (95% CI: 0.84, 0.98, I2 = 100.0%, p < 0.001), respectively. The results of the subgroup analysis indicated that the mean estimates of 25(OH)D were highest in North America (21.71 ng/mL [19.69, 23.74], [I2 = 97.2%, p < 0.001]) and lowest in Southeast Asia (14.93 ng/mL [14.54, 15.33], [I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.778]). CONCLUSION The results obtained showed a significant prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among severely obese individuals in various geographical regions, whereas the highest and lowest mean estimates were reported for North America and Southeast Asia, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study reviews the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) in bariatric surgery candidates and the long-term outcomes of the prevalence of ID after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search and meta-analysis were performed in PubMed for articles published by August 31, 2022, including these search terms: bariatric surgery, metabolic surgery, weight loss surgery, obesity surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, duodenojejunal bypass, iron, iron deficiency, sideropenia, and hypoferritinemia. Fifty-seven studies examining a total of 26,328 patients with morbidly obese were included in this meta-analysis finally. RESULTS The results showed a prevalence of 17% of ID in bariatric surgery candidates and a prevalence of 14%, 17%, 26%, 34%, 23%, 38%, and 23% of ID at 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, and 10-year follow-up after bariatric surgery, respectively. Additionally, the results showed a prevalence of 15%, 19%, 35%, 38%, 29%, 30%, and 23% of ID at 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, and 10-year follow-up after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, respectively; a prevalence of 12%, 12%, 15%, 31%, and 17% of ID at 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year follow-up after sleeve gastrectomy, respectively; and a prevalence of 19% of ID at 1-year follow-up after anastomosis gastric bypass. CONCLUSION As a result, preoperative evaluation and correction of ID may lead to better outcomes for bariatric surgery candidates. ID is also common in patients after bariatric procedures, especially RYGB. Long-term, even lifelong, medical and nutritional monitoring and tailored interventions are critical.

Effects of obesity with reduced 25(OH)D levels on bone health in elderly Chinese people: a nationwide cross-sectional study. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1162175. [PMID: 37180138 PMCID: PMC10172581 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1162175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Obesity is often accompanied by lower 25(OH)D levels, whereas these two parameters exhibit opposite effects on bone health. It is uncertain what are the effects of lower 25(OH)D levels in obesity on bone health in elderly Chinese people. Methods A nationally representative cross-sectional analysis of China Community-based Cohort of Osteoporosis (CCCO) was performed from 2016 to 2021, which consisted of 22,081 participants. Demographic data, disease history, Body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), the levels of the biomarkers of vitamin D status and those of bone metabolism markers were measured for all participants (N = 22,081). The genes (rs12785878, rs10741657, rs4588, rs7041, rs2282679 and rs6013897) related to 25(OH)D transportation and metabolism were performed in a selected subgroup (N = 6008). Results Obese subjects exhibited lower 25(OH)D levels (p < 0.05) and higher BMD (p < 0.001) compared with those of normal subjects following adjustment. The genotypes and allele frequency of rs12785878, rs10741657, rs6013897, rs2282679, rs4588 and rs7041 indicated no significant differences among three BMI groups following correction by the Bonferroni's method (p > 0.05). The levels of total 25(OH)D (ToVD) were significantly different among the GC1F, GC1S and GC2 haplotype groups (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that ToVD levels were significantly correlated with parathyroid hormone levels, BMD, risk of osteoporosis (OP) and the concentration levels of other bone metabolism markers (p < 0.05). Generalized varying coefficient models demonstrated that the increasing BMI, ToVD levels and their interactions were positively associated with BMD outcomes (p < 0.001), whereas the reduced levels of ToVD and BMI increased the risk of OP, which was noted notably for the subjects with reduced ToVD levels (less than 20.69 ng/ml) combined with decreased BMI (less than 24.05 kg/m2). Conclusion There was a non-linear interaction of BMI and 25(OH)D. And higher BMI accompanied by decreased 25(OH)D levels is associated with increased BMD and decreased incidence of OP, optimal ranges exist for BMI and 25(OH)D levels. The cutoff value of BMI at approximately 24.05 kg/m2 combined with an approximate value of 25(OH)D at 20.69 ng/ml are beneficial for Chinese elderly subjects.

Micronutrients Deficiencies in Candidates of Bariatric Surgery: Results from a Single Institution over a 1-Year Period. Obes Surg 2023; 33:212-218. [PMID: 36331725 PMCID: PMC9834098 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06355-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Micronutrient deficiencies represent a common condition after bariatric surgery (BS). The prevalence of these nutritional disorders before BS is still debated. The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in candidates for BS. METHODS A prospectively maintained database of our institution was searched to find all patients who underwent surgery between January and December 2021. The following data were collected: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), obesity-associated diseases, and preoperative serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D. RESULTS A total of 174 patients were included in our study. Mean age and BMI were 39.2 ± 11.4 years and 44.3 ± 7.1 kg/m2, respectively. One hundred and thirty-nine patients (79.9%) had at least one preoperative micronutrient disorder, with vitamin D deficiency being the most common (116, 66.7%), followed by a deficit of folate (76, 43.7%) and vitamin B12 (10, 5.7%). Forty-seven (27%) individuals had insufficient levels of vitamin D. Comparison of deficiencies between sexes showed that vitamin B12 < 20 ng/ml was significantly more frequent in women (p = 0.03). DLP showed a mild significant effect on folate levels (p = 0.01), while the association of HNT and T2DM had a mild significant effect on vitamin B12 (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative micronutrient deficiencies were frequently found in candidates for BS. Approximately 90% of patients had deficient or insufficient serum levels of vitamin D preoperatively. Almost half of the patients had a preoperative deficit of folate, and vitamin B12 deficiency was significantly more frequent in the female population. It is mandatory to screen all patients undergoing BS for vitamin deficiencies before surgery.

Fighting Obesity-Related Micronutrient Deficiencies through Biofortification of Agri-Food Crops with Sustainable Fertilization Practices. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:3477. [PMID: 36559589 PMCID: PMC9784404 DOI: 10.3390/plants11243477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Obesity is a critical medical condition worldwide that is increasingly involved with nutritional derangements associated with micronutrient deficiencies, including iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E. Nutritional deficiencies in obesity are mainly caused by poor-quality diets, higher nutrient requirements, alterations in micronutrient metabolism, and invasive obesity treatments. The current conventional agricultural system is designed for intensive food production, focusing on food quantity rather than food quality, consuming excessive agricultural inputs, and producing nutrient-deficient foods, thus generating severe health and environmental problems; agricultural food products may worsen obesity-related malnutrition. Therefore, modern agriculture is adopting new biofortification technologies to combat micronutrient deficiencies and improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. Biofertilization and nanofertilization practices are increasingly used due to their efficiency, safety, and reduced environmental impact. Biofertilizers are preparations of PGP-microorganisms that promote plant growth by influencing plant metabolism and improving the nutrient uptake, and nanofertilizers consist of synthesized nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties that are capable of increasing plant nutrition and enriching agricultural products. This review presents the current micronutrient deficiencies associated with obesity, the modern unsustainable agri-food system contributing to obesity progression, and the development of bio- and nanofertilizers capable of biofortifying agri-food crops with micronutrients commonly deficient in patients with obesity.

Multiple nutritional deficiencies among adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery: who is at risk? Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 18:413-424. [PMID: 34930699 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2021.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/31/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional deficiencies among adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery (BS) have not been evaluated a in relation to patient's sex. OBJECTIVES We compared the preoperative nutritional profile of adolescents characterized by sex and single versus multiple deficiencies. SETTING University hospital. METHODS Cross-sectional retrospective chart review of 415 eligible adolescents who underwent primary BS between 2011 and 2020. Data included preoperative demographic, anthropometric information as well as three sets of nutritional variables: anemia-related, calcium-related, and other nutritional variables. RESULTS The sample comprised 247 males (59.5%) with a mean age of 15.89 ± 1.03 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 47.80 ± 6.57 kg/m2. Most common deficiencies were vitamin D (92.3%), albumin (51.8%), anemia (15.9%), zinc (11.1%), and vitamin B12 (8%); 21.7% had hyperparathyroidism. Females exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of low hemoglobin, low hematocrit, and iron deficiency. Multiple deficiencies were present among 97.6%, 73.2%, 23.6%, 15%, and 12.6% of adolescents, who had vitamin D, albumin, hemoglobin, zinc, and vitamin B12 deficiencies, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that adolescents with a BMI of ≥50 kg/m2 were 1.24 times more likely to have multiple deficiencies (P = .004). Using multivariate log-binomial regression, BMI of ≥50 kg/m2 was a significant predictor of multiple nutritional deficiencies (P = .005, adjusted risk ratio = 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.42). Age and sex were not independent predictors of multiple nutritional deficiencies. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study is the first to appraise single and multiple nutritional deficiencies in adolescents undergoing BS by sex. Multiple deficiencies were common. Females are at higher risk of anemia-related deficiencies. A BMI of ≥50 kg/m2 independently and significantly predicted multiple nutritional deficiencies. Correction before and monitoring after surgery are important.

Macro- and Micro-nutrient Intake Adequacy in Gastric Bypass Patients after 24 Months: a Cross-sectional Study. Clin Nutr Res 2021; 10:341-352. [PMID: 34796138 PMCID: PMC8575647 DOI: 10.7762/cnr.2021.10.4.341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Decreased food intake is an effective mechanism for gastric bypass surgery (GBS) for successful weight loss. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess dietary intake, micro-and macro-nutrients in the patients undergoing GBS and determine the possible associations with weight changes. We assessed anthropometric indices and food intake at 24 month-post gastric bypass surgery. Dietary data was evaluated using three-day food records. After the 24 months of surgery, among 35 patients (mean age: 43.5 ± 11.2 years; 82.85% females), with the mean body mass index (BMI) of 30.5 ± 4.5 kg/m2, 17 cases were < 50% of their excess weight. The average daily calorie intake was 1,733 ± 630 kcal, with 14.88% of calories from protein. Consumption amounts of protein (0.82 ± 0.27 g/kg of the current weight), as well as fiber, and some micro-nutrients (vitamin B9, E, K, B5, and D3) were lower than recommended amounts. Patients were classified into three groups based on their success in weight loss after surgery. Calorie intake was not significantly different between groups, but successful groups consumed considerably more protein and less carbohydrate than the unsuccessful group (p < 0.05). Based on our findings, the patients undergoing GBS had inadequate macro- and micro-nutrient intake after 24 months. However, protein intake can affect patients' success in achieving better weight loss. Long-term cohort and clinical studies need to be conducted to comprehend this process further.

Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review was to determine if in patients presenting for bariatric surgery, patients of different ethnicities, have different micronutrient deficiencies preoperatively. Databases searched were PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library. A meta-analysis of prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (<20ng/ml) was carried out using a random effects model. Twenty-eight articles were included assessing preoperative micronutrient status across different ethnic groups. The most common micronutrient assessed was vitamin D, and the most assessed ethnicity was Caucasian. African Americans had the greatest prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency when compared to other ethnicities with a pooled prevalence and 95% confidence interval of 0.80 [0.74; 0.85]. There was a significant difference in vitamin D insufficiency when compared across ethnicities (p <0.01).

Abstract
PURPOSE In patients with obesity, micronutrient deficiencies have been reported both before and after bariatric surgery (BS). Obesity is a chronic pro-inflammatory status, and inflammation increases the risk of micronutrient malnutrition. Our objective was to assess in pre-BS patients the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and their correlation with blood values of C-reactive protein (CRP). METHODS Anthropometric data, instrumental examinations, and blood variables were centrally measured in the first 200 patients undergoing a pre-BS evaluation at the "Città della Salute e della Scienza" Hospital of Torino, starting from January 2018. RESULTS At least one micronutrient deficiency was present in 85.5% of pre-BS patients. Vitamin D deficiency was the most prevalent (74.5%), followed by folate (33.5%), iron (32%), calcium (13%), vitamin B12 (10%), and albumin (5.5%) deficiency. CRP values were high (> 5 mg/L) in 65% of the patients. These individuals showed increased rate of iron, folate, vitamin B12 deficiency, and a higher number of micronutrient deficiencies. In a multiple logistic regression model, increased CRP levels were significantly associated with deficiencies of vitamin B12 (OR = 5.84; 95% CI 1.25-27.2; p = 0.024), folate (OR = 4.02; 1.87-8.66; p < 0.001), and with the presence of ≥ 2 micronutrient deficiencies (OR = 2.31; 1.21-4.42; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Micronutrient deficiencies are common in patients with severe obesity undergoing BS, especially when inflammation is present. In the presence of increased CRP values before surgery, it might be advisable to search for possible multiple micronutrient deficiencies.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) has proven to be highly efficacious in the treatment of obesity and its comorbidities. However, careful patient selection is critical for its success. Thus, patients should undergo medical, behavioral, and nutritional assessment by a multidisciplinary team. From the nutritional point of view, BS candidates should undergo nutritional assessment, preparation, and education by a registered dietitian in the preoperative period. Currently, detailed specified and comprehensive information on these topics is lacking. The present narrative review aimed to summarize the available literature concerning both the preoperative nutritional assessment components and the preoperative nutritional preparation and education components of patients planning to undergo BS. Current literature indicates that proper management before BS should include a comprehensive nutritional assessment, in which it is advisable to perform a clinical interview to assess patients' medical background, weight management history, eating patterns and pathologies, oral health, physical activity habits, nutritional status, supplementation usage, BS knowledge, surgery expectations and anthropometric measurements. Nutritional preparation and educational strategies should include an individualized preoperative weight-loss nutrition program, improvement of glycemic control, micronutrients deficiencies correction, eating and lifestyle habits adaptation, physical activity initiation, and strengthening knowledge on obesity and BS. At this stage, more well-designed intervention and long-term cohort studies are needed in order to formulate uniform evidence-based nutritional guidelines for patients who plan to undergo BS, including populations at higher nutritional risk. Moreover, postoperative outcomes of presurgical nutritional intervention programs should be studied.

Abstract
Diet is a modifiable factor that ensures optimal growth, biochemical performance, improved mood and mental functioning. Lack of nutrients, notably vitamin B, has an impact on human health and wellbeing. The United Arab Emirates is facing a serious problem of micronutrient deficiencies because of the growing trend for bariatric surgery, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. People undergoing bariatric surgery are at high risk of developing neurological, cognitive, and mental disabilities and cardiovascular disease due to deficiency in vitamin B. Vitamin B is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, including γ-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. Deficiency of vitamin B increases the risk of depression, anxiety, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, vitamin B deficiency can disrupt the methylation of homocysteine, leading to hyperhomocysteinemia. Elevated homocysteine levels are detrimental to human health. Vitamin B deficiency also suppresses immune function, increases the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and upregulates NF-κB. Considering the important functions of vitamin B and the severe consequences associated with its deficiency following bariatric surgery, proper dietary intervention and administration of adequate supplements should be considered to prevent negative clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSES The increasing use of bariatric surgery in adolescents has raised some concerns regarding the postoperative outcomes and the optimal time of surgery at young ages. However, no study has yet compared the weight loss and comorbidity resolution following bariatric surgery between adolescents and young adults. METHODS This study was conducted on a case group of adolescents (aged 11-18) and a control group of young adults (aged 19-29) undergoing bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass). The two groups were matched in terms of gender, body mass index (BMI), and surgery type and were assessed regarding the surgical outcomes at 1 year after surgery. RESULTS The baseline characteristics of the adolescents (n = 118, mean age: 17.0 ± 1.6 years) and young adults (n = 236, mean age: 25.2 ± 3.2 years) were similar, as well as surgery-associated complications. The mean loss of BMI (- 15.4 ± 3.6 vs. -15.8 ± 4.6 kg/m2) and 12-month percentage of excess weight loss (80.4 ± 20.1 vs. 80.2 ± 20.1%) were similar in the two groups. Both groups showed parallel reductions in the cardiovascular risk factors. The remission of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia was similar between the groups. The increase in the hemoglobin level and copper deficiency was greater in young adults, whereas the increase in ferritin deficiency was greater in adolescents. CONCLUSION Similar to young adults, bariatric surgery is an effective and safe method to achieve weight loss, resolve obesity-related comorbidities, and improve cardiovascular risk factors in the adolescents.

J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:911-918. [PMID: 32040813 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-020-04530-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2019] [Accepted: 01/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed at assessing nutrient adequacy after 1 year in patients who had undergone gastric bypass (GB) surgery or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and to investigate the association of nutrient adequacy with anthropometric indices. METHODS A total of 180 severely obese patients (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) were selected among the participants of Tehran Obesity Treatment Study. Nutritional assessments were performed over 3 days of 24-h dietary recall. To evaluate the nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR), the subject's nutrient intake was divided by the dietary reference intakes. The mean adequacy ratio (MAR) was also determined as the sum of NARs divided by the number of involved nutrients (n = 11). RESULTS The mean age of SG (67%) and GB (32%) patients was 39.2 ± 12 and 41.4 ± 10 years, respectively. SG patients had more postoperative fat-free mass (52.0 ± 12 kg) than GB patients (49.7 ± 8 kg) (P < 0.05). The most common postoperative serum nutrient deficiencies were related to vitamin B12 (30%), ferritin (19%), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (16.2%). Moreover, high inadequacy of protein (> 80%) and total fat (> 70%) intake was reported. The MAR score showed that almost 45% of the patients had possibly adequate intakes of some nutrients. The adequacy of nutrients was positively associated with fat-free mass (β = 8.67, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION These findings revealed that patients had inadequate nutrient intakes 1 year after bariatric surgery, which was accompanied by serum nutritional deficiencies. Compared to GB patients, SG patients had a better body composition. Overall, compliance of patients with dietary guidelines and supplementations needs to be carefully monitored in the postoperative period.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity is increasing and progressively influencing physician-patient interactions. While there is a sizable amount of data demonstrating that obesity is a state of low-grade inflammation, to our knowledge, there is no single review summarizing its effects on hematologic parameters and thrombotic risk. We performed a literature search which largely surfaced observational studies, with a few systematic reviews and meta-analyses of these studies. We took care to review the mechanisms driving an inflammatory state and obesity's effect on white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and thrombotic risk. There is an observed relative, and sometimes absolute leukocytosis driven by this inflammatory state. Obesity is also associated with increased platelet counts and an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Lastly, the association between obesity, iron deficiency (ID), and red blood cell counts may be present but remains uncertain. Recognizing the above associations may provide clinicians with reassurance regarding otherwise unexplained hematologic abnormalities in obese individuals. We hope this review will prompt future studies to further understand the underlying mechanisms driving these abnormalities and identify modifiable risk factors and potential therapeutic targets to prevent the development of probable obesity-associated conditions with significant morbidity and mortality, such as ID and VTE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and excess body weight are significant epidemiological issues, not only because they are costly to treat, but also because they are among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2016, an estimated 40% of the global population was overweight, reflecting the importance of the issue. Obesity is linked to metabolism malfunction and concomitantly with altered mineral levels in the body. In this paper, we review alterations in somatic levels of iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, iodine, chromium, selenium, and zinc in relation to excess body mass. METHODOLOGY An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed. Our search covered original English research articles published over the past five years, culminating in 63 papers included for study. RESULTS The reviewed papers presented correlation between obesity and hypomagnesemia and hypozincemia. They also indicated that patients with excess body mass present increased body copper levels. Studies have similarly indicated that obesity appears to be associated with lower selenium levels in both blood and urine, which may be correlated with the decline and weakening of defenses against oxidative stress. It has been found that decreased level of chromium is connected with metabolic syndrome. Chromium supplementation influences body mass, but the effect of the supplementation depends on the chemical form of the chromium. It is hypothesized that obesity poses a risk of iodine deficiency and iodine absorption may be disrupted by increased fat intake in obese women. A range of studies have suggested that obesity is correlated with iron deficiency. On the other hand, some reports have indicated that excess body mass may coexist with iron excess. The relation between obesity and body iron level requires further investigation. Calcium signaling seems to be disturbed in obesity, due to the increased production of reactive oxygen species and low level of fast troponin isoform responsible for mediating calcium sensitivity of muscle relaxation. Correlation between excess body mass and calcium levels needs further research. CONCLUSIONS Excess body mass is associated with alterations in mineral levels in the body, in particular hypomagnesemia and decreased selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) levels. Chromium (Cr) deficiency is associated with metabolic syndrome. Obese patients are at risk of iodine deficiency. Excess body mass is associated with elevated levels of copper (Cu). Data on the association between obesity and iron (Fe) levels are contradictory. Obesity coexists with disturbed calcium (Ca) signaling pathways. The association between obesity and body Ca levels has not been investigated in detail.

Abstract
There are >1.5 billion people with chronic liver disease worldwide, causing liver diseases to be a significant global health issue. Diffuse parenchymal liver diseases, including hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, metabolic diseases, and hepatitis cause chronic liver injury and may progress to fibrosis and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma. As early diagnosis and treatment of these diseases impact the progression and outcome, the need for assessment of the liver parenchyma has increased. While the current gold standard for evaluation of the hepatic parenchymal tissue, biopsy has disadvantages and limitations. Consequently, noninvasive methods have been developed based on serum biomarkers and imaging techniques. Conventional imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging provide noninvasive options for assessment of liver tissue. However, several recent advances in liver imaging techniques have been introduced. This review article focuses on the current status of imaging methods for diffuse parenchymal liver diseases assessment including their diagnostic accuracy, advantages and disadvantages, and comparison between different techniques.

Nutritional Status of Obese Taiwanese Before Bariatric-Metabolic Surgery and Their Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations for Maximal Suppression of Parathyroid Hormone. Obes Surg 2020; 30:3940-3946. [PMID: 32638247 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-04759-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 05/31/2020] [Accepted: 05/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the first report from Taiwan using laboratory tests to assess nutritional status of patients with obesity before bariatric-metabolic surgery. Moreover, the 25(OH)D threshold for maximal suppression of parathyroid hormone (PTH) was evaluated to offer a reference value for preoperative nutritional care. METHODS Inclusion criteria were Taiwanese, 18-65 years old, and with BMI ≥ 27.5 kg/m2 awaiting bariatric-metabolic surgery. Anthropometric data and blood samples were collected before surgery. Serum concentrations of protein; vitamins B1, B12, folate, A, D, and E; calcium; iron; zinc; copper; selenium; PTH; and erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient (vitamin B2 status) were measured. RESULTS For 52 participants with a mean BMI 37.6 ± 6.4 kg/m2, vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL) and insufficiency (20 < 25(OH)D < 30 ng/mL) were at 73 and 22% prevalence, respectively. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH ≧ 65 pg/mL) was 24% and hypocalcemia was 50% (ionized Ca < 4.5 mg/dL). Deficiency of other nutrients was sporadic (< 10%) or nil. When participants were stratified according to 25(OH)D concentrations (< 10, 10-15, 15-20, and ≥ 20 ng/mL), PTH increased at 25(OH)D < 10 ng/mL (β = 48.34, p = 0.001) after adjusting for age, gender, and BMI. CONCLUSION For patients with obesity before bariatric-metabolic surgery, vitamin D/calcium deficiency was the only nutritional issue that needs to be addressed in Taiwan. However, a lower cutoff point of 25(OH)D, i.e., 10 ng/mL, for vitamin D deficiency may be considered for patients before surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03915158.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to post-bariatric surgery nutritional supplements can be poor and is associated with higher micronutrient deficiency rates. There is currently no available study specifically seeking patients' perspectives on the reasons behind poor adherence and how to address it. METHODS Bariatric surgery patients living in the UK were invited to take part in an anonymous survey on SurveyMonkey®. RESULTS A total of 529 patients (92.61% females, mean age 47.7 years) took part. Most of these patients had undergone either a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (63.0%) or sleeve gastrectomy (24.0%). Most of the patients were in full-time (49.0%, n = 260/529) or part-time (15.7%, n = 83/529) employment. Approximately 54.0% (n = 287/529) of the respondents reported having trouble taking all their supplements. Males were significantly more likely to report complete compliance. The most important reported reason for poor compliance was difficulty in remembering (45.6%), followed by too many tablets (16.4%), side effects (14.3%), cost (11.5%), non-prescribing by GP (10.8%), bad taste (10.1%), and not feeling the need to take (9.4%). Patients suggested reducing the number of tablets (41.8%), patient education (25.7%), GP education (24.0%), reducing the cost (18.5%), and more information from a healthcare provider (12.5%) or a pharmacist (5.2%) to improve the compliance. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first attempt to understand patient perspectives on poor adherence to post-bariatric surgery nutritional recommendation. Patients offered a number of explanations and also provided with suggestions on how to improve it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional deficiencies are a well-recognized long-term complication following bariatric surgery. The presence of preoperative deficiencies has been shown to be predictive of postoperative deficiencies. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiency in a large sample of patients with severe obesity preoperatively, and to determine whether such deficiencies may be related to patient's sex, body mass index, or ethnic subgroup. DESIGN A cross-sectional study of data collected at the time of the preoperative evaluation. PARTICIPANTS/SETTING Data were collected during the preoperative evaluation of 872 bariatric surgery candidates in a university hospital in Israel between 2011 and 2018. The patients were 72.9% women, with a mean age of 37.9±12.1 years and mean body mass index of 42.4±4.7 MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nutritional deficiencies according to blood assays. Data on anthropometrics, comorbidities, and demographic characteristics was also collected. STATISTICAL ANALYSES Baseline differences between patient subgroups were analyzed using independent-samples t test, analysis of variance, or χ2 test. RESULTS Deficiencies of vitamin D, iron, folate, vitamin B-12, elevated parathyroid hormone and low transferrin saturation were present in 75.2%, 42.6%, 28.5%, 8.5%, 35.5%, and 70% of patients, respectively. Nutritional deficiencies were significantly more common among women compared with men for iron (45.9% vs 33.5%; P=0.002), low transferrin saturation (77.7% vs 44.6%; P<0.001), vitamin D (77.5% vs 69.2%; P=0.019) and elevated parathyroid hormone level (39.5% vs 22.9%; P=0.002). Iron, transferrin saturation, and vitamin D deficiencies were more prevalent in Arab patients compared with Jewish patients: 59.6% vs 36%; P<0.001, 80.2% vs 62.8%; P=0.003, and 85.1% vs 71.6%; P<0.001, respectively. Vitamin D and iron deficiency were more common among higher body mass index subgroups (P=0.004 and P=0.040, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate a high prevalence of nutritional deficiencies, mainly of iron and vitamin D in bariatric surgery candidates. Patients at higher risk for nutritional deficiencies include those with higher body mass index, women, and Arabs.
