Objective: The was a pilot study to assess the biochemical and historical information about bariatric patients before undergoing the surgery in the aim of identifying nutritional deficiencies and their prevalence from 2015 to 2020.Methods: Clinical data of 247 patients (105 males and 142 females) were included. Vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes, albumin, globulin, hemoglobin, folate, ferritin, microalbuminuria (MAU), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were determined to explore the nutritional status according to gender, age, high body mass index (BMI), and waist circumstance (WC).Results: The mean age, mean BMI, and mean WC of the candidates were 32.95 ± 10.46 years, 38.01 ± 7.11 kg/m2, and 117.04 ± 16.18 cm, respectively. The prevalence of preoperative nutritional deficiencies was 76.88% for 25 (OH) vitamin D, 19.84% for globulin, 11.74% for albumin, 11.02% for sodium, 8.33% for folic acid, 10.48% (male) and 6.34% (female) for chloride, 4.05% for calcium, 3.07% (male) and 0.70%(female) for ferritin, 11.90% for elevated PTH, and 44.96% for MAU. Males exhibited increased prevalence of globulin and MAU relative to females (P < 0.05). Older groups are more likely to exhibit albumin deficiency (P = 0.007), globulin deficiency (P = 0.003), and zinc deficiency (P = 0.015). In addition, 25 (OH) D deficiency and albumin deficiency were more common in patients with BMI ≥ 47.5 kg/m2 (P = 0.049 and 0.015, respectively). Wider WC (≥150 cm) exhibited higher rates of albumin deficiencies (P = 0.011).Conclusion: Electrolyte and nutritional deficiencies were common in patients prior to bariatric surgery in South China. Routine evaluation of electrolyte and nutritional levels should be carried out in this population.

Obesity pandemic represents a threat to public health of paramount importance. Bariatric surgery represents the most effective and long-lasting treatment for severe obesity so far. The nutritional status of obese patients seeking bariatric surgery is impaired prior to surgery because of prevalent nutritional deficiencies. In addition, excess micronutrient levels may also occur, although this finding is not common. The onset of nutritional anomalies encountered in bariatric surgery candidates might stem from the following: obesity itself, poor quality food choices, preoperative weight loss or insufficient/excessive preoperative oral supplementation with vitamins and minerals. Nutritional management should begin preoperatively and should include a comprehensive assessment in order to identify those patients with clinical or subclinical deficiencies and hypervitaminoses. This paper provides background information on the nutritional status of bariatric surgery candidates, as well as on the prevalence and clinical significance of the most common micronutrient deficiencies and excess levels reported preoperatively among these patients.
