Is physical activity unrelated to cognitive performance in pre-bariatric surgery patients?
The findings indicate no association between daily PA and cognitive performance in morbidly obese patients. Future studies should explore the relationship between the variables with regard to dose-response-questions, a broader BMI range and with respect to potential changes after substantial weight loss due to bariatric surgery.
Older patients and patients with low testosterone levels at baseline are risk factors for late urinary and rectal toxicities, possibly through impaired tissue repair.
