摘要

Although bariatric and metabolic surgery (BS) has proved effective in the treatment of obesity based on the reduction in fat mass and the remission of comorbidities, there is also loss of lean mass after BS which could compromise muscle functionality. According to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP), sarcopenia is a disease associated with loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, we identified a range of studies focusing on evaluating sarcopenia-related parameters according to the EWGSOP2 consensus criteria, before and after BS. Although most studies reported reductions in skeletal muscle mass and absolute muscle strength after surgery, improvements in muscle functionality were generally achieved, independent of the type of BS.
