Differences in Weight Loss Postsleeve Gastrectomy Among Patients With Various Types of Obesity Based on Waist-To-Hip Ratio Classification

Results: There were significant differences in weight loss outcomes between women in the central and noncentral obesity groups in the first and third months after surgery; however, no significant differences were observed in the sixth and twelfth months. No significant differences were observed in weight loss outcomes between men in the central and noncentral obesity groups. There were significant differences in the development of central obesity between the two sexes and between those with and without type 2 diabetes. There were significant differences in body mass index (BMI) and white blood cell counts between women in the central and noncentral obesity groups, with patients with central obesity having higher BMI values and white blood cell counts before surgery. There were significant differences in the platelet count (PLT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels between men in the central and noncentral obesity groups, with patients with central obesity having lower PLT, higher GGT, HbA1c, and FPG levels. There was a significant correlation between WHR and early weight loss outcomes after surgery.
