Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To validate biomarkers of response to bariatric surgery and to develop algorithms, which combine these variables, to predict individual responses. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To determine if psychological factors (depression, anxiety, binge eating, eating behavior, food craving, body image, compliance to follow-up) are associated with genetic predisposition and to study how these psychological factors are associated with weight loss, metabolic health and improvement of QoL after bariatric surgery; - To study the difference in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and physical activity and the relationship of these measurements with weight loss, metabolic health and QoL after bariatric surgery; - To establish predictive (bio)markers of long-term outcomes after bariatric surgery (5-year follow-up). In a subgroup of 40 patients, we have additional secondary objectives: - To examine the change of gut hormones and inflammatory markers between 0-3 months after surgery and to evaluate the predictive value of these changes for weight loss and metabolic health 12 months after surgery. | — |
