Background Sedentarism or prolonged sitting time is an emerging risk factor for obesity, independent of physical activity (PA). Bariatric surgery seems to be most effective form of treatment that works for severely obese individuals (Body Mass Index (BMI) of >40 kg/m2). Objectives The purpose of this investigation was to characterize with the use of accelerometers, daily steps/day and sedentary behavior (SB) by measuring time-spent sitting/lying in severely obese patients before and after bariatric surgery. Setting McGill University Health Center (MUHC). Methods Seventeen patients (58.5% of the patients were female) with a mean age of 46.5 ± 10.1 years, and a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 48.8 ± 6.2 kg/m2 scheduled for bariatric surgery took par...
