Abstract
BACKGROUND: Phase angle (PhA), proposed as an indicator of the number, integrity, and function of cells and evaluated in some clinical situations, decreases after bariatric surgery (BS). In contrast, higher values are found in physically active or exercising individuals. We therefore evaluated the influence of physical activity on PhA after BS. METHODS: The PhA and body composition (obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis), physical activity level (obtained by International Physical Activity Questionnaire), and metabolic equivalents (METs) were evaluated in adult women submitted to BS. The PhA and body composition were evaluated at three time points: before and 6 and 12 months after surgery. Physical activity level and METs were measured at the two postoperative time points. RESULTS: A reduction in PhA was observed 6 (p < 0.01) and 12 months (p < 0.01) after BS, with no significant difference between time points. A moderate or high physical activity level was found in 81% of the volunteers after 6 months and in 65% after 12 months. METs were reduced after 12 months compared to 6 months. A positive correlation (p < 0.05) was observed between PhA and body cell mass after surgery. There was a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) between PhA and METs after 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity may attenuate the PhA reduction that occurs after BS, with this parameter reflecting the engagement of these patients in this type of activity.
