Özet
Objective: Disordered eating among bariatric surgery candidates is common and associated with comorbid diseases. But the relationship with childhood stories is not known very well. Therefore, we sought to determine the properties of disordered eating and childhood obesity in bariatric surgery candidates. Methods: The sample comprised 69 female and 16 male bariatric surgery candidates. Individuals were categorized as having childhood obesity or not. The groups consisted of 40 (33 female, 7 male) bariatric surgery candidates with childhood obesity and 45 (36 female, 9 male) bariatric surgery candidates without childhood obesity. All bariatric surgery candidates were examined by a psychiatrist for eating disorders. The eating attitude test was applied to all groups. Results: 49.4% of the total 85 bariatric surgery candidates (n=42) identified any kind of trigger factor. Eating attitudes, rate of eating disorders, and trigger factors for morbid obesity were similar in both groups. The rate of type 2 diabetes was higher in bariatric surgery candidates without childhood obesity (57.8% vs. 30.0%, p=0.010). This group was older than bariatric surgery candidates with a childhood obesity story (41.8±7.7 vs. 33.6±9.1, p=0.000). There was no statistically significant difference between groups in familial obesity story (p=0.700). Conclusion: The absence of a history of childhood obesity in bariatric surgery candidates appears to be associated with type 2 diabetes. Healthy eating habits and preventive measures for obesity must be put into practice.
