Long-term quality of life in patients with bariatric surgery evaluated with BAROS.

Unlabelled: Quality of life (QoL) significantly improves in the short term after bariatric surgery (BS). However, evidence on the long-term QoL of patients with BS is limited.

Aim: To analyze the long-term QoL of patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

[Calorie and macronutrient intake during the first six months after bariatric surgery].

Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective procedure in the management of obesity, achieving a significant decrease in energy intake.

Aim: To measure calorie and macronutrient intake in patients subjected to gastric bypass (GBP) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Material And Methods: We studied 53 patients subjected to SG and 27 subjected to GBP, who were in the first, second or sixth postoperative month.

[Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents who consult with obesity].

Background: The higher prevalence of childhood obesity has led to search for metabolic syndrome (MS) in this age group.

Aim: To study the prevalence of MS in obese children and adolescents.

Material And Methods: Cross sectional study of 255 obese children and adolescents aged 11.
