Abstract
INTRODUCTION Management of obesity is challenging for both patients and healthcare workers. Considering the low success rate of current interventions, this study aimed to explore the prevalence and associated factors of night eating syndrome (NES), insomnia, and psychological distress among individuals with obesity in order to plan comprehensive obesity management interventions. METHODS A cross-sectional study on a convenient sample from five primary healthcare centers in Port Said, Egypt, was conducted from November 2020 to March 2021. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were collected in addition to the assessment of NES, insomnia, and psychological distress using the Arabic versions of the Night Eating Diagnostic Questionnaire (NEQ), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) scales, respectively. Associations of NES, insomnia, and psychological distress were assessed by multiple regression analysis. We performed Bonferroni adjustments for multiple comparisons. RESULTS We included 425 participants with obesity with a mean age of 45.52 ± 6.96 years. In all, 54.4% were females and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 35.20 ± 4.41 kg/m2. The prevalence rates of NES, insomnia, and psychological distress were 21.6% (95% CI: 17.7-25.6%), 15.3% (95% CI: 11.9-18.7%), and 18.8% (95% CI: 15.1-22.6%), respectively. NES was significantly associated with younger age (OR 0.974, p = 0.016), physical inactivity (OR 0.485, p = 0.010), insomnia (OR 2.227, p = 0.014), and psychological distress (OR 2.503, p = 0.002). Insomnia showed strong associations with NES (OR 2.255, p = 0.015) and psychological distress (OR 5.990, p < 0.001). Associated factors of psychological distress symptoms included insomnia (OR 6.098, p < 0.001) and NES (OR 2.463, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION The prevalence rates of NES, insomnia, and psychological distress were high among primary care patients with obesity, and these conditions were interrelated. Optimal obesity management necessitates individualized and targeted multidisciplinary care plans that take into consideration individual patients' mental, behavioral, and dietary habits needs.

Duarte RLM, Magalhães-da-Silveira FJ, Gozal D. Predictive Factors for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in Bariatric Surgery Candidates with or Without Chronic Insomnia Complaints. Obes Surg 2021; 32:33-41. [PMID: 34633613 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05748-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the frequency of insomnia complaints in bariatric patients and to assess obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) predictors according to the presence or absence of chronic insomnia. METHODS Insomnia was defined as the presence of at least one specific symptom: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, and/or waking up earlier than expected. Diagnosis of OSA was objectively obtained from in-laboratory polysomnography. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess OSA predictors. RESULTS This cross-sectional study contains 1,737 bariatric surgery candidates: 59.6% without insomnia and 40.4% with insomnia. OSA prevalence was similar among participants with or without insomnia either for any OSA (p = 0.168) or for moderate-to-severe OSA (p = 0.185). Patients without insomnia showed a higher prevalence of severe OSA than those with insomnia (p = 0.005). In both cohorts, five parameters were independent OSA predictors: sex, age, body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Male sex was the most important predictor, whether in individuals without insomnia (adjusted odds ratio [OR] ranging from 4.874 to 8.369) or in those with insomnia (adjusted OR ranging from 5.672 to 12.441). CONCLUSIONS A considerable proportion of bariatric patients report insomnia complaints. The probability of suffering from OSA was similar among bariatric candidates with or without insomnia, except for severe OSA diagnosis. Sex, age, BMI, NC, and EDS were independent predictors for OSA diagnosis irrespective of insomnia symptoms, and male sex was the main predictor for OSA in bariatric individuals with or without insomnia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Investigation for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is mandatory before bariatric surgery. Data regarding chronic insomnia and chronic sleep deprivation are scarce in this population. METHODS A cross-sectional study assessing the prevalence of chronic insomnia, OSAS and chronic sleep privation in an obese population referred for bariatric surgery. RESULTS In all, 88 patients (74% women, median age 41 [33.5-50] years and median body mass index 42 [39.2-45.7] kg/m2) were included. The prevalence of chronic insomnia was 31% in the 87% suffering from OSAS that required continuous positive airway pressure therapy. Comorbid insomnia and sleep apnoea (COMISA) were found in 27% of our population. Chronic insomnia was associated with a lower quality of life (median EQ5D analogue visual scale: 60 [50-70] P=0.04) and a poor sleep quality (median Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI): 8 (6-11 P<0.01) The deleterious combination of sleep privation and insomnia had a higher impact in terms of impairment of quality of life and sleep quality (median EQ5D analogue visual scale: 50 [40-65] P=0.02 et median PSQI: 11 [9-14, P<0.01) CONCLUSION: Chronic insomnia and sleep privation have synergistic deleterious effects in candidates for bariatric surgery. Further studies need to be conducted to evaluate the evolution after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disturbance is well established in individuals with obesity, and the relationship between poor sleep and obesity is supported by population, longitudinal, experimental, and intervention studies. However, the prevalence and characteristics of poor sleep in individuals seeking bariatric surgery have thus far been poorly examined. OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize self-reported sleep parameters in individuals seeking bariatric surgery and to compare these data with controls. SETTING Two Academic Medical Centers, United States, and an online survey of healthy controls. METHOD Individuals seeking bariatric surgery (n = 427) completed presurgical psychological evaluations at 2 comprehensive bariatric surgery programs. Data on medical co-morbidities and from self-report questionnaires on sleep quality, insomnia, anxiety, and depression were abstracted from charts. Data from controls (n = 180) were collected using an online survey tool and compared with bariatric cases. RESULTS Across study sites, 40.4% of bariatric cases took at least 30 minutes to fall asleep, 46.7% had insufficient total sleep time (<6.5 hr), 65.1% reported general poor sleep quality, and 30.8% reported clinically significant insomnia symptoms. Approximately 20% of the variance in poor sleep quality and insomnia was explained by body mass index, obstructive sleep apnea, anxiety, and depression. Cases and controls were similar, although bariatric cases reported significantly poorer sleep efficiency. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that similar to a control population, the majority of patients seeking bariatric surgery are experiencing sleep difficulties. Presurgical assessment and treatment of sleep problems may be beneficial to patients and may help improve weight loss treatment outcomes. Optimally, assessment would include 1 of the 2 self-report questionnaires used herein, and treatment would involve Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. Future research assessing sleep patterns with objective measurement tools and evaluating the impact of sleep on postsurgical outcomes is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the rates of psychiatric medication use in bariatric surgery candidates and factors associated with psychiatric medication use. METHODS Patients from the Toronto Western Hospital Bariatric Surgery Program were recruited from 2011 to 2014. Data extracted included demographics, clinical factors (e.g., mood disorder, anxiety disorder, eating disorder, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7), and psychiatric medication use. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between demographic variables, clinical factors, and psychiatric medication use. Multiple logistic regression was conducted to determine the predictors of clinical factors from demographic variables with psychiatric medication use. RESULTS A total of 262 (35.1%) patients were taking at least 1 psychiatric medication and 105 patients (14.1%) were taking more than 1 psychiatric medication. Antidepressants were the most common psychiatric medication reported. The majority of patients taking a psychiatric medication had a psychiatric illness, with 16.0% not having a lifetime diagnosis of a mental illness. Being male and being employed significantly predicted lower odds of being on a psychiatric medication. Older age significantly predicted higher odds of being on a psychiatric medication. Psychiatric disorders were significantly associated with psychiatric medication use independent of demographic variables. CONCLUSION Our study provides insights into clinical and demographic factors related to psychiatric medication use in bariatric surgery patients. The findings support careful screening and clarification of psychiatric medications, especially in patients without a formal psychiatric diagnosis.

Abstract
The effects of water exercise on gut hormone concentrations and appetite currently remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of treadmill walking in water on gut hormone concentrations and appetite. Thirteen men (mean ± s.d. age: 21.6 ± 2.2 years, body mass index: 22.7 ± 2.8 kg/m2, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak): 49.8 ± 7.8 mL/kg per min) participated in the walking in water and on land challenge. During the study period, ratings of subjective feelings of hunger, fullness, satiety and motivation to eat were reported on a 100-mm visual analog scale. A test meal was presented after walking, and energy intake (EI) was calculated. Blood samples were obtained during both trials to measure glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) and acylated ghrelin (AG) concentrations. Hunger scores (How hungry do you feel?) were significantly lower during the water trial than during the land trial (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in EI between water and land trials. GLP-1 concentrations were significantly higher in the water trial than in the land trial (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in PYY concentrations between water and land trials. AG concentrations were significantly lower in the water trial than in the land trial (P < 0.01). In conclusion, changes in gut hormone concentrations during walking in water contribute to the exercise-induced suppression of appetite and provide novel information on the influence of walking in water on the acute regulation of appetite.
