Abstract:
The use of bariatric and metabolic surgery as a central treatment for obesity has been steadily increasing. BMI, as a widely used metric for assessing obesity, has considerable relevance in the field of metabolic research. However, its limitations, such as its inability to account for variations in fat distribution, remain a subject of considerable controversy. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the relationship between changes in body composition and the risk of metabolic disease. Consequently, the study of the effects of bariatric and metabolic surgery on changes in body composition has become a major focus of bariatric and metabolic surgery research. As a potential replacement for BMI, body composition measurements are expected to improve and standardize the assessment of the effectiveness of bariatric and metabolic surgery. This underscores the urgent need for the development of methods and standards for body composition measurement. This paper undertakes a comprehensive review of the existing evidence on the application of body composition measurement techniques for the efficacy evaluation of bariatric and metabolic surgery. The intent is to provide new insights and pave the way for the exploration of future research directions in this area.
