Changes in thyroid hormones predict weight regain in patients with obesity who undergo metabolic surgery
Authors' conclusion
Changes in TSH and FT3 after metabolic surgery were correlated with changes in weight and CVAI. Changes in thyroid hormones can predict weight regain in patients with obesity who underwent metabolic surgery.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with obesity who underwent metabolic surgery
- Participants
- 162 patients
- Outcome
- Relationship between thyroid function and weight regain after metabolic surgery
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Changes in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can predict weight regain after metabolic surgery (binary logistic regression and ROC analyses)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
TSH, free triiodothyronine (FT3) and metabolic measures after surgery · 1 year
- TSH and FT3 decreased markedly, as did weight, body mass index (BMI), TG, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, waist circumference (WC) and Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI)
Association of TSH and FT3 decreases with weight, BMI and CVAI changes
- Decreases in TSH and FT3 were associated with changes in weight, BMI and CVAI
Good weight loss
- Decreases in TSH can predict good weight loss to some extent
