Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to learn more about the use of a short screener for diet quality (Eetscore FFQ) in bariatric patients and about changes in diet quality before and after the bariatric procedure.

Conditions

Obesity and Overweight; Bariatric Surgery; Nutrition Assessment; Diet Quality

Keywords

Screener; Diet quality; Obesity; Metabolic bariatric surgery; Weight loss surgery; Validity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dutch Healthy Diet index score

  The DHD2015-index consists of fifteen components representing the Dutch food-based dietary guidelines of 2015: vegetables, fruit, wholegrain products, legumes, nuts, dairy, fish, tea, fats and oils, coffee, red meat, processed meat, sweetened beverages, alcohol and Na. Additionally, the component 'unhealthy food choices' was added based on the guideline of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. For every component, the score ranges from 0 (no adherence) to 10 points (complete adherence), resulting in a total score between 0 and 160 points. Total DHD2015-index score and individual component scores were calculated from the Eetscore FFQ and 3-day food records.

  Before surgery and at 6 mo after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Macro- and micronutrient intake

  Before surgery and at 6 mo after surgery

• Dietary intake at 3 and 5 years post-surgery

  3 y and 5 y after surgery

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with severe obesity who were eligible and scheduled for metabolic bariatric surgery at Vitalys Obesity Clinic, part of Rijnstate hospital (Arnhem, the Netherlands), were asked to participate in this prospective cohort study. Participants were included approximately 6 weeks pre-surgery and followed up until 5 years post-surgery.
