Racial disparities in selected micronutrient deficiencies after bariatric surgery : A systematic review

Published by Elsevier Inc..

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery has been associated with numerous micronutrient deficiencies. Several observational studies have found that these deficiencies are more common in racially/ethnically minoritized patients.

OBJECTIVES: To conduct a systematic review to investigate whether racially/ethnically minoritized patients experience worse nutritional outcomes after bariatric surgery.

SETTING: University of Wisconsin-Madison.

METHODS: PubMed, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and Cochrane databases were queried. We searched for manuscripts that reported micronutrient levels or conditions related to micronutrient deficiencies according to race/ethnicity (White, African American/Black, and Hispanic) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass between 2002 and 2022. Eleven micronutrients (vitamins A, B1 [thiamine], B12, D, E, K, calcium, copper, folate, iron, and zinc), and four conditions (anemia, bone loss, fractures, and hyperparathyroidism) were assessed.

RESULTS: Abstracts from 953 manuscripts were screened; 18 full-text manuscripts were reviewed for eligibility, and ten met the inclusion criteria. Compared to White patients, African Americans had a higher prevalence of thiamine, vitamin D, and vitamin A deficiencies. There were no differences in calcium and vitamin B12 deficiencies. The other six micronutrients were not assessed according to race/ethnicity. Hyperparathyroidism was more prevalent in African Americans than White patients in the three studies that evaluated it. The prevalence of fractures was mixed. Anemia and bone loss were not evaluated according to race/ethnicity.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the literature on micronutrient outcomes following bariatric surgery according to race/ethnicity is limited, African Americans appear to experience a higher prevalence of vitamin deficiencies and associated conditions. Qualitative and quantitative research to explore these disparities is warranted.
