Abstract
Background: Obesity, a prominent risk factor for endometrial cancer development and public health issue, affects nearly one-third of the US population; bariatric surgery is an alternative weight loss option. Little is known of how bariatric surgery-related weight loss affects other obesity-aggravating factors, such as daytime sleepiness and depression. This study is among the first to look at the effects of bariatric surgery-related BMI reduction on daytime sleepiness and depressive symptoms among women. Objective: To gauge the effect of bariatric surgery on daytime sleepiness, depressive symptoms, and BMI. Methods: As part of a larger study ("Effects of weight loss on biomarkers of immunity and inflammation: Implications for endometrial cancer risk" Linkov, PI), 51 women completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and had anthropometric measurements recorded pre- and post-bariatric surgery at Magee-Womens Hospital. Paired sample t-tests analyzed changes between baseline (before surgery) and post-surgery follow-up (mean follow-up time=7.18 months, SD=2.40). Participants were then separated into groups based on BMI lost, using median BMI lost (median=12.20). Linear regression was used to test the significance of relationships pre-/post-surgery between BMI and depressive symptoms and daytime sleepiness, as well as relationships between daytime sleepiness and depressive symptoms. Results: Our sample consisted of 51 obese women (85.7% white, mean age=43.51±11.94 years, mean BMI=46.35±5.58). Improvements were seen between baseline and post-surgery follow-up in: daytime sleepiness (m=-1.21±3.39, p=0.014), total CES-D score (m=-3.00±8.57, p=0.016), likelihood of meeting CES-D score criteria for clinical depression (p=0.031), and BMI (m=-11.94±4.46, p
