Sexual behaviors, risks, and sexual health outcomes for adolescent females following bariatric surgery. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Adolescents with severe obesity may be less sexually active overall, but those who are do engage in risky sexual behaviors, particularly after undergoing bariatric surgery.
  • The study compared sexual risk behaviors and contraception practices among females who had bariatric surgery versus those who did not over four years, involving a total of 179 participants from academic medical centers.
  • Results indicated that surgical patients had a higher increase in STI risk behaviors and reported more pregnancies and live births compared to nonsurgical counterparts, emphasizing the need for improved sexual health education and support in this population.

Article Abstract

Background: Adolescents females with severe obesity are less likely to be sexually active, but those who are sexually active engage in risky sexual behaviors.

Objectives: To examine patterns and predictors of sexual risk behaviors, contraception practices, and sexual health outcomes in female adolescents with severe obesity who did or did not undergo bariatric surgery across 4 years.

Setting: Five academic medical centers.

Methods: Using a prospective observational controlled design, female adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery (n = 111; M = 16.95 ± 1.44 yr; body mass index: M = 50.99 ± 8.42; 63.1% white) and nonsurgical comparators (n = 68; M = 16.18 ± 1.36 yr; M = 46.47 ± 5.83; 55.9% white) completed the Sexual Activities and Attitudes Questionnaire at presurgery/baseline and 24- and 48-month follow-up, with 83 surgical females (M = 39.27 ± 10.08) and 49 nonsurgical females (M = 48.56 ± 9.84) participating at 48 months.

Results: Most experienced sexual debut during the 4-year study period, with a greater increase in behaviors conferring risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for surgical females (P = .03). Half (50% surgical, 44.2% nonsurgical, P = .48) reported partner condom use at last sexual intercourse. The proportion of participants who had ever contracted an STI was similar (18.7% surgical, 14.3% nonsurgical). Surgical patients were more likely to report a pregnancy (25.3% surgical, 8.2% nonsurgical, P = .02) and live birth (16 births in 15 surgical, 1 nonsurgical), with 50% of offspring in the surgical cohort born to teen mothers (age ≤19 yr).

Conclusions: Bariatric care guidelines and practices for adolescent females must emphasize the risks and consequences of teen or unintended pregnancies, sexual decision-making, dual protection, and STI prevention strategies to optimize health and well-being for the long term.
