- Background: Patients undergoing bariatric surgery do not seem to increase objectively measured physical activity (PA) after surgery, despite substantial weight loss. The aims of the present study were (i) to objectively characterize 3 months pre-surgery to 9 months postsurgery PA and sedentary behavior changes in women undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) using tri-axial accelerometers and (ii) to examine associations between pre-surgery versus postsurgery PA and sedentary behavior with anthropometric measures taken in home environment.Methods: Fifty-six women, with an average pre-surgery body mass index (BMI) of 37.6 (SD 2.6) and of age 39.5 years (SD 5.7), were recruited at five Swedish hospitals. PA was measured for 1 week by the Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer, and anthropometric measures were taken at home visits 3 months pre-surgery and 9 months postsurgery, thus limiting seasonal effects.Results: Average BMI loss, 9 months postsurgery, was 11.7 (SD 2.7) BMI units. There were no significant pre- to postsurgery differences in PA or sedentary behavior. However, pre-surgery PA showed negative association with PA change and positive association with postsurgery PA. Adjustments for pre-surgery BMI had no impact on these associations.Conclusions: No significant differences were observed in objectively measured changes in PA or time spent sedentary from 3 months pre-surgery to 9 months postsurgery among women undergoing RYGB. However, women with higher pre-surgery PA decreased their PA postsurgery while women with lower pre-surgery PA increased their PA.

- Severe obesity has been associated with numerous comorbidities and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Although many studies have reported changes in HRQoL after bariatric surgery, few were long-term prospective studies. We examined the performance of the convolution neural network (CNN) for predicting 5-year HRQoL after bariatric surgery based on the available preoperative information from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg). CNN was used to predict the 5-year HRQoL after bariatric surgery in a training dataset and evaluated in a test dataset. In general, performance of the CNN model (measured as mean squared error, MSE) increased with more convolution layer filters, computation units, and epochs, and decreased with a larger batch size. The CNN model showed an overwhelming advantage in predicting all the HRQoL measures. The MSEs of the CNN model for training data were 8% to 80% smaller than those of the linear regression model. When the models were evaluated using the test data, the CNN model performed better than the linear regression model. However, the issue of overfitting was apparent in the CNN model. We concluded that the performance of the CNN is better than the traditional multivariate linear regression model in predicting long-term HRQoL after bariatric surgery; however, the overfitting issue needs to be mitigated using more features or more patients to train the model.

- BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to study longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in females over a 10-year period after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).METHODS: at baseline, were included. BMD, BMI, S-calcium, S-25(OH)-vitamin D, and fP-PTH were measured preoperatively and 2, 5, and 10 years postoperatively.RESULTS: Ten years after surgery, BMD of the spine and femoral neck decreased by 20% and 25%, respectively. Changes in serum levels of vitamin D, PTH, and calcium over the same period were small.CONCLUSION: After LRYGB with subsequent massive weight loss, a large decrease in BMD of the spine and femoral neck was seen over a 10-year postoperative period. The fall in BMD largely occurred over the first 5 years after surgery.

- Background: The aim of the present study was to see if there are longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D or parathyroid hormone (PTH) in females 5 years after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB).Methods: Thirty-two women with mean age 41.6 ± 9.3 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 44.5 ± 4.6 kg/m(2) were included. Preoperatively, 2 and 5 years postoperatively, BMD, weight, height, S-calcium, S-albumin, S-creatinine, S-25(OH)-vitamin D and fP-PTH were measured.Results: The mean decrease in BMI between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 29.4 %. BMD of the spine and femur measured as z- and t-scores, showed a linear, statistically significant declining trend over the years. The fall in BMD of the spine and femoral neck between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 19 and 25 %, respectively. The mean fP-PTH showed a significant increase over the study period (20.2 μg/L increase, 95 % CI:-31.99 to -8.41). S-calcium, both free and corrected for albumin, showed a decrease between baseline and 5 years after surgery. Eight patients developed osteopenia and one osteoporosis after a 5-year follow-up.Conclusion: LRYGB is an efficient method for sustained long-term body weight loss. There is, however, a concomitant decrease in BMD and S-calcium, and an increase in fP-PTH.

- It is evident that morbidly obese patients have a low health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), and this low HRQoL has become a common reason for them to seek bariatric surgery. Several HRQoL studies demonstrate a dramatic postoperative improvement, but most of these have had a short follow-up period.An observational, cross-sectional study for HRQoL was conducted to study 486 patients (average age of 50.7 +/- 10.0 years, with 84 % of them being female) operated with gastric bypass (GBP) in the period 1993 to 2003 at the University Hospitals of A-rebro and Uppsala. Mean follow-up after gastric bypass was 11.5 +/- 2.7 years (range 7-17). Two HRQoL instruments were used, SF-36 and the Obesity-related Problems scale (OP). The study group was compared with two control groups, both matched for age and gender, one from the general population and one containing morbidly obese patients evaluated and awaiting bariatric surgery.The study group scored better in the SF-36 domains (all four physical domains and the vitality subscore) and OP scale compared to obese controls, but their HRQoL scores were lower than those of the general population. HRQoL was better among younger patients and in the following subgroups: men, patients with satisfactory weight loss, satisfied with the procedure, free from co-morbidities and gastrointestinal symptoms, employment, good oral status and those not hospitalised or regularly followed up for non-bariatric reasons.Long-term follow-up after GBP for morbid obesity showed better scores in most aspects of HRQoL compared to obese controls but did not achieve the levels of the general population. Patients with better medical outcome after gastric bypass operation had better HRQoL.

- BACKGROUND: Obesity continues to increase in the world. It is strongly associated with morbidity, mortality, and decrease of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity, resulting in sustained weight loss and improvements of HRQoL. The aim of this study was to examine whether other factors, apart from weight loss, are associated with improvement in HRQoL scores between the preoperative visit and the 5-year follow-up.OBJECTIVES: To examine whether there are factors besides weight loss that affect the improvement of HRQoL from before to 5 years after gastric bypass surgery.SETTING: Large, nationwide, observational study with national quality and research registry.METHODS: Patients operated with a primary gastric bypass in Sweden between January 2008 and December 2012 were identified in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register. Patients with HRQoL data available at both baseline and 5 years after surgery were included. Two HRQoL instruments, the RAND Short form-36 and the obesity-related problems scale, were used in the study.RESULTS: The study sample comprised 6998 patients (21% men). Differences in HRQoL change according to sex were minor. Younger patients showed greater improvements in physical health scales. In general linear regression model analyses, age and weight loss correlated significantly with improvement in HRQoL after 5 years. Patients treated medically for depression preoperatively (13%) experienced less improvement in HRQoL than patients without such treatment. Patients with postoperative complications (26%) had significantly less improvements in all aspects of HRQoL compared with those without any form of postoperative complication.CONCLUSION: The study confirmed the importance of weight loss for improvement in HRQoL after bariatric surgery. Preoperative medication for depression and suffering a complication during the 5-year follow-up period were associated with less improvement in HRQoL.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Obesity is a worldwide disease. Surgery is currently the only available management option which offers an adequate long-term effect on comorbidity, quality-of-life and weight loss. It is evident that overweight and obesity are associated with low health-related quality-of life (HRQoL) and multiple comorbidities. The aim of this thesis has been to explore the long-term effect of gastric bypass surgery on HRQoL and bone mineral density.In study 1: 486 patients (average age 50.7±10.0 years, 84 % female) operated with gastric bypass (GBP) from 1993 to 2003 at the University Hospitals of Örebro and Uppsala. Mean follow-up after GBP was 11.5±2.7 years (range 7–17). The study group was compared with two control groups. The study group scored better in the SF-36 domains and OP scale compared to obese controls, but their HRQoL scores were lower than those of the general population. HRQoL was better among younger patients and in the following subgroups: men; patients with satisfactory weight loss; those satisfied with the procedure; those free from comorbidity and gastrointestinal symptoms; employed; good oral status; and those not hospitalised or regularly followed up for non-bariatric reasons.In study 3: Patients operated with a primary GBP between January 2008 and December 2012 were identified in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register (SOReg). Patients with HRQoL data available at both baseline and 5 years after surgery were included. The study sample comprised 6998 patients (21% men). Gender differences in change in HRQoL were minor. Younger patients showed greater improvements in physical health scales. In general linear regression model analyses, age and weight loss correlated significantly with improvement in HRQoL after 5 years. Patients treated medically for depression preoperatively (13%) experienced less improvement in HRQoL than patients without such treatment. Patients with a postoperative complications (26%) had significantly less improvement in all aspects of HRQoL compared to those without any form of postoperative complication.This study confirmed the importance of weight loss for improvement in HRQoL after bariatric surgery. Preoperative medication for depression and suffering a complication during the five-year follow-up period were associated with less improvement in HRQoL.Studies 2 and 4: Included patients operated with laparoscopic gastric bypass at the department of surgery at the Örebro University Hospital between January 2004 and December 2005. Thirty-two females were prospectively recruited for this longitudinal study. In both studies, the following were measured at baseline, 2, 5 and 10 years postoperatively: bone mineral density (BMD); weight; height; S-calcium; S-albumin; S-creatinine; S-25(OH)-vitamin D; and fP-PTH. In study 4: Nine of the patients declined follow-up. BMD showed a statistically significant decline over the study period. The fall in BMD of the spine and femoral neck between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 19% and 25%,respectively. During the next five years period BMD continued to decline but at a lower rate. At 5 years 58 % had elevated PTH, this number declined at the next 5 years.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- INTRODUCTION: Alcohol overconsumption remains one of the adverse effects associated with bariatric surgery. Many previous studies have used subjective methods to evaluate the prevalence of alcohol overconsumption. In 2018, Örebro University Hospital started to use phosphatidylethanol 16:0/18:1 (PEth) as a screening tool pre- and postbariatric surgery. Research exploring alcohol use after bariatric surgery assessed with PEth is scarce.AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of alcohol overconsumption in bariatric surgery patients measured 2 years postoperatively with PEth and to identify possible risk factors associated with alcohol overconsumption.METHODS: This was a register-based retrospective, observational cohort study with PEth results collected from medical records at Örebro University Hospital. Patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January 2016 and June 2019 and who were registered in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) were included.RESULTS: PEth results from 410 bariatric surgery patients were identified. PEth values significantly increased from baseline to the postoperative follow-up (from 3.0% before surgery to 8.3% at the 2-year follow-up). In a univariate logistic regression analysis, the associated risk factors were found to be male sex (odds ratio, OR 2.14), older age (OR 1.06), and hypertension (OR 3.32).CONCLUSION: The prevalence of alcohol overconsumption measured with PEth 2 years after bariatric surgery was 8.3% and was associated with male sex, older age, and hypertension. More studies are needed to validate the results of this study because it is not known whether PEth values are affected by bariatric surgery.
