Abstract

Introduction: Specialized lifestyle programmes for patients undergoing metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) are provided to facilitate adjustment and adherence to a healthy lifestyle after surgery. However, pre-programme food and health literacy in MBS patients is often unknown. In the general population, approximately three-quarters of people exhibit sufficient health literacy. This study aimed to examine food and health literacy of patients awaiting MBS and to identify patient-specific factors associated with these literacies.

Methods: Patients awaiting MBS completed questionnaires on food literacy (Self-Perceived Food Literacy scale) and health literacy (European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire-16) at the start of a preoperative lifestyle programme. Linear and logistic regression analyses were used to identify associations between multiple variables and preoperative food and health literacy.

Results: Among 216 patients, the preoperative mean food literacy score was 3.49 ± 0.44, on a five-point scale. Furthermore, 96.3% of patients showed sufficient health literacy, with scores of 13 or more out of 16. Patients with sufficient health literacy had higher food literacy scores (β 0.508; 95% CI: 0.208-0.809, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: This study among people living with obesity awaiting MBS suggests that food literacy is comparable, and health literacy is higher than in the general population. These findings emphasize the complexity of the aetiology of obesity due to factors that extend beyond food and health literacy.

等待代谢减重手术患者的饮食与健康知识。

导言：为接受代谢减肥手术（MBS）的患者提供专门的生活方式计划，以帮助他们在术后适应并坚持健康的生活方式。然而，代谢减重手术患者在手术前的饮食和健康知识往往不为人知。在普通人群中，大约四分之三的人具有足够的健康知识。本研究旨在调查等待接受乳房下垂矫正术的患者的食物和健康知识，并确定与这些知识相关的患者特定因素：方法：等待接受口腔手术的患者在术前生活方式计划开始时填写了关于食物知识（自我感觉食物知识量表）和健康知识（欧洲健康知识调查问卷-16）的问卷。采用线性和逻辑回归分析来确定多个变量与术前食物和健康素养之间的关系：结果：在 216 名患者中，术前食物知识平均得分为 3.49±0.44（5 分制）。此外，96.3%的患者表现出足够的健康素养，满分为 16 分，得分在 13 分或以上。具有足够健康素养的患者具有更高的食物素养得分（β 0.508; 95% CI: 0.208 - 0.809, p<.001）：这项针对等待 MBS 的肥胖症患者的研究表明，与普通人群相比，他们的食物知识水平相当，而健康知识水平较高。这些发现强调了肥胖症病因的复杂性，其因素超出了食物和健康素养的范围。
