Plain language summary
Obesity in older adults predisposes individuals to physical disability, a host of chronic diseases, and premature mortality. A strong body of evidence indicates that well-designed structured exercise interventions increase older adults’ self-efficacy and satisfaction with their physical functioning, and these are important social cognitive outcomes closely linked with quality of life and health behaviour change. The main aim of this study was to investigate changes in walking self-efficacy and satisfaction after the 6-month intensive phase of the intervention. This study was a secondary analysis of the Empowered with Movement to Prevent Obesity and Weight Regain (EMPOWER) study, which was an 18-month, three-group, single-blind randomised trial. A total of 183 participants were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment arms: weight loss + structured exercise (WL+EX), WL+ sitting less and moving more across the day (SL), or WL+EX+SL. Results showed that: - participants demonstrated improvements in self-efficacy and satisfaction following the 6-month intervention weight loss and physical activity intervention. - participants who received an exercise intervention focused on sustained walking demonstrated significantly better self-efficacy for walking relative to those who did not (WL+SL). - both WL+EX and WL+EX+SL regressed to baseline levels of self-efficacy for walking by month 18, only WL+SL did not significantly decrease self-efficacy scores, sustaining a significant increase over baseline. Authors conclude that programs focused on daylong movement may contribute to improved self-efficacy and satisfaction. Thus, health promotion professionals should demonstrate flexibility in the ways in which physical activity is prescribed for older adults since not everyone resonates with traditional structured exercise.
Abstract
This report contrasts the impact of a dietary weight loss intervention (WL) paired with aerobic exercise (EX) and/or sitting less and moving throughout the day (SL) on self-efficacy for walking (hereafter walking self-efficacy) and satisfaction with physical functioning (hereafter satisfaction). Additional analyses examined dose-response associations between change in weight and changes in these key outcomes. Older adults (N = 112; age = 70.21[Formula: see text]4.43) were randomized to 6 months of WL+EX, WL+SL, or WL+EX+SL followed by a 12-month maintenance period. All groups reported increases in walking self-efficacy at month 6 with greater improvements in WL+EX and WL + EX+SL. Only WL+SL demonstrated improved walking self-efficacy at month 18. All conditions demonstrated improved satisfaction scores at both time points. Changes in walking self-efficacy and satisfaction were negatively associated with change in weight over the 6-month intervention and after the maintenance period. These results support the utility of WL + SL for improving key social cognitive outcomes in aging.

Plain language summary
Gut microbiota is defined by all the beneficial microorganisms that live and grow in the intestine. It is set up from birth and evolves according to different factors. Today, the microbiota is considered a therapeutic revolution, where researchers use its enrichment to prevent or treat certain diseases including obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a probiotic supplement containing Bifidobacteruim, Lactobacillus strains and a prebiotic supplement by carob on the changes in body composition and metabolic biomarkers in subjects with obesity. This study was a prospective interventional study. Forty-five patients were recruited on their first visit to the obesity unit and were randomly assigned to three groups. All participants were enrolled in the weight loss program at the beginning of the study and followed a low-carbohydrate, reduced-energy intake eating plan. Results showed that a low-carbohydrate, restricted-energy diet effectively showed positive results in terms of weight loss, metabolic parameters and obesity-related psychiatric disorders in obese individuals. Authors concluded that prebiotics and probiotics supplementation with lifestyle measures can be taken into consideration for the management of obesity.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of obesity is difficult with many failures of lifestyle measures, hence the need to broaden the range of treatments prescribed. The aim of our work was to study the influence of pre and probiotics on weight loss psychological profile and metabolic parameters in obese patients. METHODS It is a clinical trial involving 45 obese patients, recruited from the Obesity Unit of the National Institute of Nutrition between March and August 2022 divided into three groups: diet only (low-carbohydrate and reduced energy diet), prebiotics (30 g of carob/day) and probiotics (one tablet containing Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus/day). The three groups were matched for age, sex and BMI. Patients were seen after 1 month from the intervention. Anthropometric measures, biological parameters, dietary survey and psychological scores were performed. RESULTS The average age of our population was 48.73 ± 7.7 years, with a female predominance. All three groups showed a significant decrease in weight, BMI and waist circumference with p < .05. Only the prebiotic and probiotic group showed a significant decrease in fat mass (p = .001) and a significant increase in muscle strength with p = .008 and .004, but the differences were not significant between the three groups. Our results showed also a significant decrease in insulinemia and HOMA-IR in the prebiotic group compared to the diet-alone group (p = .03; p = .012) and the probiotic group showed a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose compared to the diet alone group (p = .02). A significant improvement in sleep quality was noted in the prebiotic group (p = .02), with a significant decrease in depression, anxiety and stress in all three groups. CONCLUSIONS The prescription of prebiotics and probiotics with the lifestyle measures seems interesting for the management of obesity especially if it is sarcopenic, in addition to the improvement of metabolic parameters and obesity-related psychiatric disorders.

Plain language summary
Recent research has shown that the time of the day when a larger meal is consumed may influence energy utilisation, positively affecting weight loss. This randomised, crossover, isocaloric and eucaloric controlled feeding trial compared morning-loaded calorie intake with evening-loaded calorie intake to assess its effects on weight and metabolism. Thirty healthy, overweight, or obese individuals participated in this study for four weeks and assessed their energy intake and energy expenditure. Based on the findings of this study, there were no discernible variations in either resting metabolic rate or total energy expenditure based on the timing of energy intake. Morning loaded diet can significantly lower hunger and improve satiety compared to the evening-loaded diet. Because of these effects, a morning-loaded diet may aid weight loss through behavioural adaptations. Healthcare professionals can use the results of this study to understand the benefits of morning-loaded calorie intake in terms of hunger suppression and increased satiety which may promote weight loss through behavioural change. Further robust studies are required to evaluate the metabolic outcomes and energy metabolism followed by morning-loaded energy intake and evening-loaded energy intake.
Abstract
Morning loaded calorie intake in humans has been advocated as a dietary strategy to improve weight loss. This is also supported by animal studies suggesting time of eating can prevent weight gain. However, the underlying mechanisms through which timing of eating could promote weight loss in humans are unclear. In a randomized crossover trial (NCT03305237), 30 subjects with obesity/overweight underwent two 4-week calorie-restricted but isoenergetic weight loss diets, with morning loaded or evening loaded calories (45%:35%:20% versus 20%:35%:45% calories at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, respectively). We demonstrate no differences in total daily energy expenditure or resting metabolic rate related to the timing of calorie distribution, and no difference in weight loss. Participants consuming the morning loaded diet reported significantly lower hunger. Thus, morning loaded intake (big breakfast) may assist with compliance to weight loss regime through a greater suppression of appetite.

Plain language summary
Postprandial glycaemic response (PPGR) to foods can be different from person to person. This could be the reason why people experience different weight loss outcomes with standardised diets such as a low glycaemic index diet, low-fat diet or a low carbohydrate diet. In this single-centre, population-based, randomised, blinded clinical trial, 204 participants with irregular glucose metabolism and obesity were randomised to consume either a low-fat or personalised diet for six months in combination with fourteen behavioural change counselling sessions. The participants in the personalised diet group received a colour-coded meal score to indicate their estimated PPGR for different foods. The results of this study showed no significant weight reduction in the personalised diet group compared to the low-fat diet. Further robust studies are required to develop appropriate precision nutrition interventions for weight loss and energy balance. However, healthcare professionals can use the results of this study to understand that both a low-fat diet and a personalised diet, coupled with behavioural counselling, may be effective in promoting weight loss in obese populations with irregular glucose metabolism.
Abstract
IMPORTANCE Interindividual variability in postprandial glycemic response (PPGR) to the same foods may explain why low glycemic index or load and low-carbohydrate diet interventions have mixed weight loss outcomes. A precision nutrition approach that estimates personalized PPGR to specific foods may be more efficacious for weight loss. OBJECTIVE To compare a standardized low-fat vs a personalized diet regarding percentage of weight loss in adults with abnormal glucose metabolism and obesity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Personal Diet Study was a single-center, population-based, 6-month randomized clinical trial with measurements at baseline (0 months) and 3 and 6 months conducted from February 12, 2018, to October 28, 2021. A total of 269 adults aged 18 to 80 years with a body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) ranging from 27 to 50 and a hemoglobin A1c level ranging from 5.7% to 8.0% were recruited. Individuals were excluded if receiving medications other than metformin or with evidence of kidney disease, assessed as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation, to avoid recruiting patients with advanced type 2 diabetes. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomized to either a low-fat diet (<25% of energy intake; standardized group) or a personalized diet that estimates PPGR to foods using a machine learning algorithm (personalized group). Participants in both groups received a total of 14 behavioral counseling sessions and self-monitored dietary intake. In addition, the participants in the personalized group received color-coded meal scores on estimated PPGR delivered via a mobile app. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the percentage of weight loss from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes included changes in body composition (fat mass, fat-free mass, and percentage of body weight), resting energy expenditure, and adaptive thermogenesis. Data were collected at baseline and 3 and 6 months. Analysis was based on intention to treat using linear mixed modeling. RESULTS Of a total of 204 adults randomized, 199 (102 in the personalized group vs 97 in the standardized group) contributed data (mean [SD] age, 58 [11] years; 133 women [66.8%]; mean [SD] body mass index, 33.9 [4.8]). Weight change at 6 months was -4.31% (95% CI, -5.37% to -3.24%) for the standardized group and -3.26% (95% CI, -4.25% to -2.26%) for the personalized group, which was not significantly different (difference between groups, 1.05% [95% CI, -0.40% to 2.50%]; P = .16). There were no between-group differences in body composition and adaptive thermogenesis; however, the change in resting energy expenditure was significantly greater in the standardized group from 0 to 6 months (difference between groups, 92.3 [95% CI, 0.9-183.8] kcal/d; P = .05). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE A personalized diet targeting a reduction in PPGR did not result in greater weight loss compared with a low-fat diet at 6 months. Future studies should assess methods of increasing dietary self-monitoring adherence and intervention exposure. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03336411.

Reduction and control of body weight is an important measure in order to reduce health risks in adolescence and adulthood. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the content of an instrument to assess the motivation for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and obesity. This is a methodological study. The development and content validation of the instrument was conducted in five stages. There were three rounds of evaluation; in the first round the responses of 12 experts were included, in the second round the responses of 10 experts were included and in the final round the responses of four experts were included. Findings show that the content validity evaluation of the items by the panel of experts allowed the selection of the most practical items for adolescents. Additionally, the revisions made in the wording of the items provided a better standardization in the presentation of the items and a clearer language adapted to the age range of the target audience. Authors conclude that further psychometric testing is needed to determine reliability and construct validity of the instrument.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate the content of an instrument for assessing the motivation for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and obesity. METHODS The development and validation of the instrument were conducted in five stages, for which two systematic reviews were conducted. The first one, for the identification of questionnaires assessing the motivation for weight loss, included six studies and contributed to the selection of the domains for the instrument. The second one, conducted to identify the motivations for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and/or obesity, included six studies and contributed to the selection of 17 motivations included in the initial version of the instrument. The motivations most commonly identified were: having better health, improving my appearance, improving my self-esteem and avoiding bullying. The content validity was confirmed by a committee of 12 experts from the areas of nutrition, endocrinology, psychology, and physical education. Based on these evaluations, the content validity index was calculated. Only the items with a content validity index >0.80 for practical relevance were held in the instrument. RESULTS Five of the 17 motivations included in the initial version of the instrument were excluded because they had content validity index <0.80 for practical relevance. Of the 12 items held in the instrument, five were revised by experts in order to standardize wording and make the language more appropriate for adolescents. Experts categorized the items into the health, personal satisfaction, appearance and social domains. CONCLUSIONS This is the first instrument assessing the motivation for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and obesity in Brazil. The content validity evaluation by the panel of experts provided more practical relevance, as well as contributed to a better presentation of the items. Further psychometric testing is needed to determine reliability and construct validity of the instrument.

Plain language summary
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, and with it, the risk of cardiovascular disease is also increasing. Intermittent fasting has been shown to reduce weight and improve glycaemic control. Weight control and glycaemic control were also improved with probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 supplementation. This pilot, 12-week, double-blinded, two-armed, randomized 1:1 study aimed to investigate the combined effects of intermittent fasting with daily probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 supplementation on glycaemic management in participants with prediabetes. For two days, participants restricted their calorie intake to 600-650 kcal, followed by five days of ad libitum consumption (5:2). Intermittent fasting for 12 weeks improved glycaemic control (reduced HbA1c) and reduced body weight by 5%. The supplementation with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 did not significantly improve these outcomes. Probiotic supplementation significantly improved mental health and social functioning in participants. There is a need for further large, robust studies to assess the effects of intermittent fasting alone and when it is combined with different exercise forms and different prebiotic and probiotic supplements on cardiometabolic markers and mental health. The findings of this study may be useful to healthcare professionals in understanding the effects of fasting on metabolism as well as the psychological benefits of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 supplementation.
Abstract
Both intermittent fasting and specific probiotics have shown promise in improving glucose tolerance with a potential for synergistic effects through alterations to gut microbiota. In this randomized, double-blinded, two-arm feasibility study, we investigated whether intermittent fasting, supplemented with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 probiotic, reduces HbA1c in individuals with prediabetes. All participants with HbA1c 40-50 mmol/mol commenced intermittent fasting (2 days per week of calorie restriction to 600-650 kcal/day) and were randomized 1:1 to either daily probiotic (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001) or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was a change in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes included changes in anthropometry, body composition, glucoregulatory markers, lipids, hunger hormones, liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, gut hormones, calorie and macronutrient intake, quality of life, hunger, mood and eating behavior. Of 33 participants who commenced the trial, 26 participants (mean age 52 years, body mass index (BMI) 34.7 kg/m2) completed the intervention (n = 11 placebo, n = 15 probiotic). HbA1c decreased from 43 ± 2.7 mmol/mol to 41 ± 2.3 mmol/mol, p < 0.001, with average of 5% weight loss. No significant between-group differences were seen in primary or secondary outcomes except for social functioning (p = 0.050) and mental health (p = 0.007) scores as improvements were seen in the probiotic group, but not in the placebo group. This study shows additional psychological benefits of probiotic supplementation during intermittent fasting to achieve weight loss and glycemic improvement in prediabetes.

Plain language summary
Treating severe and complex obesity requires specialist multi-professional teams for assessment, management and optimizing patients’ health outcomes. The aim of this study was to review existing evidence for defining commissioning and delivery of primary or secondary care weight assessment and management clinics to patients needing specialist care for severe and complex obesity. Twenty-two UK royal colleges and professional organizations were invited to develop the guidance revision according to the NICE-accreditation process. Fifty references were included in the final report. The following additions have been identified as new emergent developments to be included in the guidance: - multi-disciplinary team pathways for children/adolescent patients and their transition to adult care, and - anaesthetic assessment and recommendations for ongoing shared care with general practitioners, as a chronic disease management pathway. Authors indicate that the Guidance Development Group recommends the use of the NICE-accredited commissioning guidance as healthcare services in different countries develop services to manage patients with severe and complex obesity.
Abstract
The challenge of managing the epidemic of patients with severe and complex obesity disease in secondary care is largely unmet. In England, the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence and the National Health Service England have published guidance on the provision of specialist (non-surgical) weight management services. We have undertaken a systematic review of 'what evidence exists for what should happen in/commissioning of: primary or secondary care weight assessment and management clinics in patients needing specialist care for severe and complex obesity?' using an accredited methodology to produce a model for organization of multidisciplinary team clinics that could be developed in every healthcare system, as an update to a previous review. Additions to the previous guidance were multidisciplinary team pathways for children/adolescent patients and their transition to adult care, anaesthetic assessment and recommendations for ongoing shared care with general practitioners, as a chronic disease management pathway.

Plain language summary
The treatment of obesity has become a public health priority given the negative impact of this condition on physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of energy restriction alone or in combination with induced cognitive dietary restraint (CDR) on eating behaviour traits, appetite sensations, and markers of stress in overweight and obese premenopausal women. The study is a single-blinded randomised clinical study which recruited premenopausal women aged between 26 and 50 years. The participants were randomised to either an energy-restriction-plus-induced CDR condition (CDR+group) or an energy-restriction-without induced CDR condition (CDR−group). Results indicate that inducing CDR in a context of energy restriction had no further effects on eating behaviour traits, appetite sensations, and markers of stress in the short term as well as in the longer term than energy restriction alone. Authors conclude that increasing CDR has no negative impact on factors regulating energy balance in the context of energy restriction.
Abstract
Weight loss has been associated with changes in eating behaviors and appetite sensations that favor a regain in body weight. Since traditional weight loss approaches emphasize the importance of increasing cognitive dietary restraint (CDR) to achieve negative energy imbalance, it is difficult to untangle the respective contributions of energy restriction and increases in CDR on factors that can eventually lead to body weight regain. The present study aimed at comparing the effects of energy restriction alone or in combination with experimentally induced CDR on eating behavior traits, appetite sensations, and markers of stress in overweight and obese women. We hypothesized that the combination of energy restriction and induced CDR would lead to more prevalent food cravings, increased appetite sensations, and higher cortisol concentrations than when energy restriction is not coupled with induced CDR. A total of 60 premenopausal women (mean BMI: 32.0 kg/m2; mean age: 39.4 y) were provided with a low energy density diet corresponding to 85% of their energy needs during a 4-week fully controlled period. At the same time, women were randomized to either a condition inducing an increase in CDR (CDR+ group) or a condition in which CDR was not induced (CRD- group). Eating behavior traits (Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and Food Craving Questionnaire), appetite sensations (after standardized breakfast), and markers of stress (Perceived Stress Scale; postawakening salivary cortisol) were measured before (T = 0 week) and after (T = 4 weeks) the 4-week energy restriction, as well as 3 months later. There was an increase in CDR in the CDR+ group while no such change was observed in the CDR- group (p=0.0037). No between-group differences were observed for disinhibition, hunger, cravings, appetite sensations, perceived stress, and cortisol concentrations. These results suggest that a slight increase in CDR has no negative impact on factors regulating energy balance in the context of energy restriction.

Plain language summary
Bariatric surgery may induce weight loss, improvement of weight-associated comorbidities, and improved health and well-being. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of standard and distal Rou-en-Y gastric bypass on obesity-specific health related quality of life, weight-related symptoms, eating behaviour, anxiety and depression. The study is a double-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial. The participants’ age ranged from 18 to 60 years of age with a BMI of 50 to 60 kg/m2. Results indicated improvements in most patient-reported outcome measures after both surgeries, but no significant difference between groups after surgery in relation to obesity-specific health related quality of life, weight-related symptoms, anxiety and depression, or eating behaviour. Authors conclude that both surgeries lead to sustained weight loss and improved health related quality of life 2 years after surgery in patients with a BMI 50-60kg/m2.
Abstract
BACKGROUND The preferred surgical procedure for treating morbid obesity is debated. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are relevant for evaluation of the optimal bariatric procedure. METHODS A total of 113 patients with BMI from 50 to 60 were randomly assigned to standard (n = 57) or distal (n = 56) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Validated PROMS questionnaires were completed at baseline and 2 years after surgery. Data were analyzed using mixed models for repeated measures and the results are expressed as estimated means and mean changes. RESULTS Obesity-related quality of life improved significantly after both procedures, without significant between-group differences (- 0.4 (95% CI = - 8.4, 7.2) points, p = 0.88, ES = 0.06). Both groups had significant reductions in the number of weight-related symptoms and symptom distress score, with a mean group difference (95% CI) of 1.4 (- 0.3, 3.3) symptoms and 5.0 (2.9. 12.8) symptom distress score points. There were no between-group differences for uncontrolled eating (22.0 (17.2-26.7) vs. 28.9 (23.3-34.5) points), cognitive restraint (57.4 (52.0-62.7) vs. 62.1 (57.9-66.2) points), and emotional eating (26.8 (20.5-33.1) vs. 32.6 (25.5-39.7) points). The prevalence of anxiety was 33% after standard and 25% after distal RYGB (p = 0.53), and for depression 12 and 9%, respectively (p = 0.76). CONCLUSIONS There were no statistically significant differences between standard and distal RYGB 2 years post surgery regarding weight loss, obesity-related quality of life, weight-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, or eating behavior.

Plain language summary
Bariatric surgery has become the most efficient way to obtain satisfying results in terms of weight loss, comorbidity improvement and survival amongst people with morbid obesity. The aim of the study is to assess the progression of type 2 diabetes and psychopathological variables before and after bariatric surgery. A secondary aim is to analyse the importance of the different variables in weight loss outcomes. The retrospective observational and cross-sectional study involves clinical data of 75 patients, aged between 23 and 64, before and after bariatric surgery. Results indicate that type 2 diabetes improved through bariatric surgery, and that type 2 diabetes, depression and eating disorders have an influence on weight loss postoperatively. Authors conclude that it is important to provide continuous psychiatric follow-up of patients who undergo bariatric surgery.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is associated with a great number of complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and psychiatric pathology. Bariatric surgery is the best solution to weight loss and improvement of complications in morbid obese patients. This study aims to analyze the evolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus and psychopathologic variables before and after bariatric surgery and assess the importance of different variables in weight loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a longitudinal study, which evaluates 75 patients before and after bariatric surgery (47 - LAGB - laparoscopic adjustable gastric band; 19 - RYGB - Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; 9 - sleeve) with a follow-up time between 18 and 46 months. A clinical interview and self report questionnaires were applied - Eating Disorder Examination questionnaire - EDE-Q and Beck Depression Inventory - BDI. RESULTS Results show an improvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus after surgery (X2 (1) = 26.132, p < 0.001). There was not a significant improvement among psychiatric pathology when we controlled the analysis for the type of surgery. It was verified that type 2 diabetes mellitus, depression and eating disorders in post-operative period are associated with less weight loss. This model explains 27% of weight variance after surgery (R2 = 0.265) and it is significant F (3.33) = 2.981, p = 0.038. DISCUSSION Type 2 diabetes mellitus, psychiatric pathology and eating disorders after surgery influenced weight loss. It was not clear in what way this relation was verified, neither the relation that these metabolic and psychological variables may have during the postoperative period. CONCLUSION Type 2 diabetes mellitus improved after surgery. Type 2 diabetes mellitus, depression and eating disorders influenced weight loss in the postoperative period. These variables did not influence weight loss in the preoperative period. Introdução: A obesidade associa-se a um elevado número de comorbilidades, entre as quais a diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e a patologia psiquiátrica. A cirurgia bariátrica tem demonstrado ser a melhor solução para a perda de peso e a melhoria das complicações nos casos de obesidade mórbida. O objetivo deste estudo é o de analisar a evolução da diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e de variáveis psicopatológicas antes e depois da cirurgia bariátrica e verificar o seu impacto na perda de peso. Material e Métodos: É um estudo longitudinal, que avalia 75 indivíduos antes e depois de serem submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica (47 - banda gástrica; 19 - bypass Roux-en-Y gástrico; 9 - sleeve gástrico), com tempo de follow-up entre 18 e 46 meses. Os instrumentos de avaliação foram a entrevista clínica e os questionários Eating Disorder Examination questionnaire - EDE-Q e Beck Depression Inventory - BDI. Resultados: Verificou-se melhoria relativamente à variável dicotómica diabetes mellitus tipo 2 após a cirurgia (X(1) = 26,132, p < 0,001). Não ocorreu melhoria significativa em termos de patologia psiquiátrica quando a análise foi controlada para o tipo de cirurgia. Encontrámos uma associação significativa entre as variáveis em estudo no pós-cirúrgico e a perda de peso. Este modelo explica 27% da variação do peso após a cirurgia (R2 = 0,265) e é significativo F (3,33) = 2,981, p = 0,038. Discussão: A diabetes mellitus tipo 2, patologia depressiva ou do comportamento alimentar mostraram estar relacionados com a perda de peso. Não ficou esclarecido em que sentido esta relação é estabelecida, nem a relação que estas variáveis metabólicas e psicológicas possam ter entre si ao longo do período pós cirurgia bariátrica. Conclusão: A diabetes mellitus tipo 2 evoluiu favoravelmente após a cirurgia. Diabetes mellitus tipo 2, depressão e patologia alimentar no período pós-cirúrgico associaram-se a menor perda de peso. As variáveis estudadas no período pré cirúrgico não contribuíram de forma significativa para a perda de peso.
