The Impact

Abstract Background Bariatric surgery is currently considered an effective way to lose weight after failure in the clinical treatment over a 2-year period. Severe obesity is associated with a wide range of serious health complications and reduced health-related quality of life and throughout its context has a significant impact on the health, longevity and quality of life of individuals. The objective of this study was to monitor the impact of weight reduction, induced by bariatric gastric bypass surgery, on the quality of life of pre and post-operative patients at 1, 2 and 6 months. Methods Longitudinal observational study conducted from December 2016 to October 2017 in southern Brazil. The convenience sample consisted of 104 obese individuals eligible to undergo bariatric gastric bypass surgery. The quality of life evaluation was performed using the SF-36 self-administered questionnaire (The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey). Results Obese patients presented significant weight loss after surgery and in the evaluation of quality of life the mean scores of the 8 domains of the SF-36 obtained a significant improvement (p <0.001) between time 0 and 6, as well as the components of mental health (vitality, social aspects, emotional aspects and mental health) and physical health component (functional capacity, physical aspects, pain and general state of health). Conclusions Patients who underwent gastric bypass bariatric surgery had significant improvements in quality of life during the 6 postoperative months.

Background and Purpose Early physical functional changes after gastric bypass surgery (GBS) are unclear, and the relationship between these changes and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) has not been reported. We measured distances from a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and scores on the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) before and after GBS. Subjects and Methods Twenty-five people undergoing GBS completed the SF-36 and 6MWT presurgically and at the 3-month and 6-month follow-up visits. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured during 6MWTs. Results Presurgical walking distance (X̅±SD; 414.1±103.7 m) was 55%±14% of normative values. Distances increased significantly at 3 months (505.2±98.0 m) and at 6 months (551.5±101.2 m). Final RPEs decreased significantly, and HR-QOL improved significantly. Both physical and mental health components of the SF-36 improved significantly. Distance was inversely correlated with body mass throughout the study and positively correlated with the SF-36 Physical Component Summary change from 3 to 6 months. Discussion and Conclusions Improved functional capacity was associated with enhanced HR-QOL. At 6 months, walking distances remained 75% of those for age-matched peers who had normal weight.

The Impact

Abstract Context: The effect of bariatric surgery on the reproductive function of obese men is not entirely elucidated. Objective: The aim of the study was to define the effect of Roux-En-Y gastric bypass surgery on the reproductive hormones and sexual function in obese men. Design and Setting: The cohort was followed for 2 yr at a clinical research center. Patients: Sixty-four severely obese men (22 who had gastric bypass surgery and 42 controls) participated in the study. Intervention(s): Anthropometrics [weight, body mass index (BMI), and percentage body fat] and reproductive hormones were measured. The sexual quality of life was assessed using the Impact of Weight on the Quality Of Life-Lite questionnaire. Main Outcome Measure(s): Reproductive hormones and sexual quality of life were measured. Results: The mean age was 48.9 ± 1.2 yr. At baseline, mean weight was 333.0 ± 7.1 lb, BMI was 46.2 ± 0.9 kg/m2, and total testosterone was 339.9 ± 21.32 ng/dl. BMI correlated positively with estradiol and negatively with total and free testosterone. Indices of dissatisfaction with sexual quality of life correlated positively with measures of obesity. Difficult sexual performance and low sexual desire correlated negatively with free and total testosterone (r = −0.273, P = 0.038; and r = −0.267, P = 0.042, respectively). After 2 yr, the gastric bypass surgery group had a significant decrease in BMI (−16.6 ± 1.2 vs. −0.46 ± 0.51 kg/m2) and estradiol (−8.1 ± 2.4 vs. 1.6 ± 1.4 pg/ml) and had an increase in total testosterone (310.8 ± 47.6 vs. 14.2 ± 15.3 ng/dl) and free testosterone (45.2 ± 5.1 vs. −0.4 ± 3.0 pg/ml). Sexual quality of life was improved after gastric bypass surgery. Conclusion: Hormonal alterations and diminished sexual quality of life among obese men are related to degree of obesity, and both are improved after gastric bypass surgery.

Abstract Background To examine the effects of gastric bypass surgery on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, and to investigate their experiences of life adjustments using quantitative and qualitative methods. Methods Thirteen patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, (body mass index, BMI > 30 kg/m2), participating in a randomized clinical trial, completed this sub-study. HRQoL was evaluated before, and at 6 months and 2 years after gastric bypass surgery, using the RAND- 36-item health survey. At 2 years, interviews for in-depth analysis of HRQoL changes were performed. Results Significant improvement was observed from baseline to 6 months for 2 of the eight health concepts, general health, and emotional well-being. At 2 years, improvements were also seen in physical functioning, energy/fatigue, as well as sustained improvements in general health and emotional well-being. Multiple regression analyses showed mostly non-significant associations between the magnitude of decrease in weight, BMI, and HbA1c during follow-up and improvement in HRQoL. The analyses from qualitative interviews supported a common latent theme “Finding a balance between the experience of the new body weight and self-confidence”. Conclusions The improved HRQoL after gastric bypass surgery in obese patients with type 2 diabetes was not explained specifically by the magnitude of weight loss, but rather by the participants achieving a state of union between body and consciousness.

The Impact

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after twelve months of smoking cessation. METHODS: This was a prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation program on the quality of life of 60 self-referred subjects, at a public hospital, during the period of August 2006 to December 2007. The program consisted of 2-h group sessions once a week during the first month and then every 15 days over six months, followed by monthly phone contacts for another six months. The treatment was based on behavior modification and the use of bupropion in combination with nicotinic replacement therapy. Abstinence was verified by exhaled CO measurements. Patient HRQoL was quantified using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. Differences in quality of life scores between quitters and non-quitters at twelve months after the initial intervention were evaluated using analysis of covariance with baseline characteristics as covariates. RESULTS: Self-reported quality of life scores were significantly higher among the 40 quitters than among the 20 non-quitters. The following SF-36 domains were most affected: role-emotional (p = 0.008); general health (p = 0.006); vitality (p < 0.001); and mental health (p = 0.002). At twelve months after the smoking cessation intervention, the SF-36 mental component and physical component summary scores were higher among quitters than among non-quitters (p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings illustrate that smoking abstinence is related to better HRQoL, especially in aspects of mental health.
