AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study aimed to evaluate serum chromium levels and their relationship with blood sugar and lipid profiles in patients awaiting bariatric surgery, as chromium deficiency hadn't been previously measured in this group.
  • - In a sample of 73 patients, a significant 87.7% were found to be chromium deficient, with the average participant being 37 years old and having a high body mass index (BMI).
  • - Findings indicated that low chromium levels were linked to higher total cholesterol and triglycerides, suggesting the need for early nutritional support to enhance health outcomes for these patients before surgery.

Article Abstract

Background: To our knowledge, the frequency of serum chromium deficiency in patients awaiting bariatric surgery has not been determined. This study was designed to assess chromium concentration and its association with glycemic levels and lipid profile in patients prior to bariatric surgery.

Methods: This study recruited 73 candidates for bariatric surgery between March and September 2012. Their sociodemographic, anthropometric, and biochemical data were collected.

Results: Of the 73 patients, 55 (75.3%) were women (75.34%). Mean patient age was 37.20 ± 9.92 years, and mean body mass index was 47.48 kg/m2 (range, 43.59 to 52.50 kg/m2). Chromium deficiency was observed in 64 patients (87.7%). Correlation analysis showed significant negative relationships between chromium concentration and BMI and zinc concentration and a significant positive relationship between chromium and glycated hemoglobin. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum chromium concentration was significantly associated with total cholesterol (β = 0.171, p = 0.048) and triglyceride (β = -0.181, p = 0.039) concentrations.

Conclusions: Serum chromium deficiency is frequent in candidates for bariatric surgery and is associated with total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. Early nutritional interventions are needed to reduce nutritional deficiencies and improve the lipid profile of these patients.
