Abstract
BACKGROUND: The incidence of obesity has been constantly growing and bariatric procedures are considered to be the most effective treatment solution for morbidly obese patients. The results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) may differ depending on patient's age, gender, preoperative body mass index (BMI) and physical activity. METHODS: The aim of this study was to evaluate age-related differences in the outcome of LSG in terms of weight loss parameters, lipid and carbohydrate profile. The retrospective analysis of 555 patients who had undergone LSG was performed to compare the metabolic outcomes of surgery in individuals < 45 and ≥ 45 years old. Evaluation of weight loss parameters along with selected laboratory data was performed to demonstrate the results of LSG in 2 years follow-up. RESULTS: Overall, 238 males and 317 females (43%/57%) with median age of 43 years and median preoperative BMI of 46.41 (42.06-51.02) kg/m2 were analyzed. Patients in both groups presented significant weight loss at 24 months after the surgery with comparable percentage of total weight loss (40.95% in < 45 years old group and 40.44% in ≥ 45 years old group). The percentage of excess weight loss (78.52% vs. 74.53%) and percentage of excess BMI loss (91.95% vs. 88.01%) were higher in patients < 45 years old. However, the differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.662, p = 0.788 respectively). Patients under 45 years old experienced faster decrease in fasting glucose level that was observed after only 3 months (109 mg/dl to 95 mg/dl in < 45 years old group vs. 103.5 mg/dl to 99.5 mg/dl in ≥ 45 years old group, p < 0.001). Both groups presented improvement of lipid parameters during the observation. However, patients < 45 years old achieved lower values of LDL at 3 and 12 months follow-up (115 mg/dl vs. 126 mg/dl, p = 0.010; 114.8 mg/dl vs. 122 mg/dl, p = 0.002). Younger group of patients also showed superior improvement of triglycerides level. CONCLUSIONS: LSG results in significant weight loss in all patients regardless age. In turn, superior and faster improvement in lipid and carbohydrate profile is achieved in patients under 45 years old.
