Background: Previous studies have shown multiple nutritional deficiencies after bariatric surgery (BS). However, few studies have evaluated the micronutrient deficiencies prior to BS, specifically in Latin America. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with micronutrient deficiencies in adults undergoing bariatric surgery in Peru. Methods: We included adults of both sexes aged 18 to 59 years, with a body mass index (BMI)≥30 kg/m2, and candidates for bariatric surgery from 2017 to 2020 admitted to a Peruvian clinic. We considered the serum levels of hemoglobin and albumin (in tertiles) as the micronutrient deficit markers. We performed generalized linear models of the Poisson family with log-link function and robust variances to estimate the factors associated with micronutrient deficiencies. Results: We analyzed 255 patients, 63.1% were males, with a mean age of 37.1 ± 10.3 years and a mean of hemoglobin and albumin of 14.0 ± 1.5 g/dL and 4.6 ± 0.4 g/dL, respectively. We found that males, participants between 30 and 49 years, 50 or more, with a BMI ≥40 kg/m2, impaired HDL levels and being in the high tertile of CRP had a higher probability of being in the lower tertile of albumin. In addition, we found that male sex and elevated cholesterol were associated with the lowest tertile of hemoglobin. Conclusion: In our setting, micronutrient deficiencies were associated with sociodemographic, anthropometric and laboratory markers. Pre-bariatric correction of micronutrient deficiencies is essential and could prevent major complications after surgery.
