ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Bariatric surgery is one of the best treatments for obesity. This indication includes an evaluation of body mass index (BMI) that does not consider the body composition of an individual.AIM:
To determine the body composition of bariatric surgery candidates.METHODS:
Patients treated at a tertiary care centre for obesity were evaluated. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). All measures of BIA and surgical indication were analysed.RESULTS:
We evaluated 407 subjects, 87 (21.4%) men, with a mean age of 36 years. In men with indications for bariatric surgery, the mean ± SD body fat percentage (%BF) was 45.1 ± 5.39%, and the mean ± SD visceral fat area was 243.6 ± 33.79 cm2. In women with indications for bariatric surgery, the mean ± SD %BF was 50.7 ± 3.3%, and the mean ± SD visceral fat area was 241.7 ± 24.77 cm2.CONCLUSION:
This study showed different body compositions between men and women and parameters of %BF and visceral fat area evaluated by BIA.Palavras-chave
