Abstract
Rationale: Bariatric surgery (BS) induces sustained loss of body fat mass (FM) with an inevitable loss of lean mass (LM). In contrast, menopause leads to deleterious changes in body composition (BC) related to estrogen deficiency including LM loss and increases in total and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). This study aims to assess BC in post-menopausal women after RYGB (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) and compares their profile with age and BMI matched controls.
