MON-588 Anthropometric Parameters, Body Fat Percentage and Metabolic Profile in Sarcopenic Women with Recommendation for Bariatric Surgery

Sarcopenia (SARC) is a musculoskeletal disorder that predisposes several complications, including metabolic ones. Obesity also provides higher risk for metabolic complications, however, there is lack of evidences regarding the association of obesity with SARC on metabolic parameters in non-elderly individuals. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate anthropometric parameters, body fat percentage (BFP) and metabolic parameters in women with and without SARC preceding Bariatric Surgery (BS). METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 60 obese women in the outpatient care in a public Brazilian University Hospital between March to September 2018. Body composition was given by bio-impedance (inbody-370), multifrequency (5, 50, 250Hz) with 12 hours fasting, dominant Handgrip Strength (HS) was evaluated by Jamar dynamometer (3 measurements; 30 sec interval). Were also evaluated fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). SARC was defined by the association of a low muscle mass index (weight-adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle mass: ASMM/weight x 100%) and decreased HS, using as cutoff points the smallest quintile for each variable. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and independent t-test was used for comparison between groups. Statistics were made by SPSS software, 20th version (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). RESULTS: The mean age, weight, body mass index and BFP of sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic women were: 40.75 ± 11 x 39.23 ± 8.92 years old (p=0.665), 102.93 ± 9.58 x 109.19 ± 14.25 Kg (p=0.237), 44.88 ± 2.7 x 42.24 ± 4.79 Kg/m2 and 54.12 ± 1.11 x 51.44 ± 3.43% (p=0.052), respectively. Regarding the laboratory parameters of women with and without SARC: fasting blood glucose 89.25 ± 14.48 x 98.40 ± 27.48 mg/dL (p=0.359), HbA1c 5.83 ± 0.33 x 6.21 ± 1.18% (p=0.185), HOMA-IR 3.61 ± 1.28 x 5.31 ± 4.74 (p=0.160), TC 170.87 ± 39.36 x 180.82 ± 34.51 mg/dL, LDL 94.67 ± 26.63 x 105.60 ± 30.85 mg/dL, HDL 53.37 ± 18.50 x 50.84 ± 10.32 mg/dL, triglycerides 114.12 ± 38.84 x 127.30 ± 75.04 mg/dL and hs-CRP 8.51 ± 6.50 x 7.51 ±6.52 mg/L (p=0.792). CONCLUSION: Women with SARC and recommendation for BS when compared to women without SARC had similar anthropometric, metabolic and BFP parameters.
