Özet |
Background/Aims: Obesity is a major global health issue, exacerbated by reduced physical activity due to technological advancements. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for significant weight loss. This study examines 2-month postoperative changes in anthropometric parameters, muscle strength, and regional fat reduction in female patients. Materials and Methods: In this observational prospective study, anthropometric measurements were collected from female patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between October 2022 and March 2023. Data were recorded preoperatively and at the first and second months postsurgery. Results: A significant reduction in skinfold thickness, indicative of fat mass reduction, was observed, alongside a marked improvement in grip strength within the 8-week postoperative period. Conclusion: This study is notable for being the first to comprehensively evaluate short-term changes in skinfold thickness following bariatric surgery. In addition, it is pioneering in its application of the pinch strength test alongside the hand grip strength test in this context. |
