Association between gamma glutamyl transpeptidase to HDL-cholesterol (GGT/HDL-C) ratio and metabolic syndrome (MetS) resolution in adults after sleeve gastrectomy Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery has proven effective in addressing metabolic conditions, including metabolic syndrome in adult patients. The gamma glutamyl transpeptidase/ HDL-cholesterol ratio (GGT/HDL-C) has been identified in some studies as a potential indicator of metabolic disturbances, particularly in association with liver diseases and MetS. Objective: To evaluate the association between GGT/HDL-C and resolution of MetS in adults undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using secondary data from a private bariatric clinic located in Lima, Peru. The study population consisted of adults aged 18 and above who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between 2017-2022 and were diagnosed with MetS prior to the surgery based on the 2009 IDF criteria. The main outcome measured was MetS resolution six months post-surgery and the exposure variable was the GGT/HDL-C ratio, categorized into tertiles. Results: We analyzed 137 patients with a mean age of 38.9 ± 10.9 years; 64.2% were females. The median GGT/HDL-C ratio was 1.1 [0.7 – 1.5], and 83.9% of patients experienced resolution MetS. Furthermore, both the middle tercile of GGT/HDL-C (aRR: 1.28; IC95%: 1.04 - 1.58; p=0.019) and the low tercile (aRR: 1.27; IC95%: 1.01 - 1.60; p=0.038) showed a significant association with MetS resolution. Conclusion: Eight out of ten patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy experience resolution of metabolic syndrome by 6 months post-operation. Those in the middle and low terciles of the GGT/HDL-C ratio have a higher likelihood of this outcome. Optimizing this cost-effective and accessible parameter is recommended for evaluating bariatric surgery candidates as it could provide insights into patients' metabolic responses post-surgery.
