Pesqui. 1809-2950 2316-9117 Universidade de São Paulo RESUMEN La prueba de la marcha de seis minutos (PM6) es una herramienta muy utilizada para medir la capacidad funcional en ciertas poblaciones. Sin embargo, poco se conoce sobre los factores asociados a su desempeño en candidatos a cirugía bariátrica. Ante esto, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia de factores antropométricos y fisiológicos en el desempeño de la PM6 en candidatos a cirugía bariátrica. En este estudio transversal participaron 107 candidatos a cirugía bariátrica. Los factores antropométricos fueron: sexo, peso, altura, índice de masa corporal (IMC) e índices cintura-cadera y altura-cintura. Además de la distancia recorrida durante la PM6, se registraron los factores fisiológicos como la sensación subjetiva de esfuerzo (SSE) y el porcentaje de frecuencia cardíaca de reserva utilizada (% FCR). De los 107 pacientes (edad media: 39,6 años), 83 voluntarios aceptaron realizar la PM6. No se encontraron diferencias por sexo respecto de la distancia recorrida, % FCR y ESS durante la PM6. Además, el IMC y el % FCR explicaron el 21% de la distancia recorrida en la PM6. Y los individuos con un IMC ≤41,5 kg/m2 caminaron ~50 metros más que sus pares por encima de este nivel (p=0,05). Resultó interesante que el incremento de la frecuencia cardíaca durante la PM6 fue más bajo que los reportados en poblaciones sanas. El IMC y % FCR fueron los factores que explicaron parte de la variabilidad en el desempeño de la PM6 en candidatos a cirugía bariátrica. INTRODUCTION Obesity is a global health problem. This condition is defined as a chronic disease influenced by genetic, environmental, and sociodemographic factors. It is characterized by an excessive increase in adipose tissue depots throughout the body and is caused by a positive energy balance persistent in time and/or an energy expenditure deficit1. In adults, obesity classification depends on the body mass index, which is estimated by dividing the body weight by height2. Therefore, values above 30 kg/m2 are associated with obesity2. This condition is related to the development of noncommunicable chronic and degenerative diseases during adulthood, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, depression, and psychological disorders; altogether raising the mortality risk3. Obesity is considered a worldwide pandemic, given that 39% of adults are classified as obese2. Especially in Latin America, by 2025, 18% of men and 21% of women will be classified as obese4. Moreover, Chile is among the 10 countries with the highest obesity prevalence worldwide5, where national surveys show that three out of four people (74.2%) are overweight or obese6. Previous research has indicated the inverse association between obesity and physical fitness7, where submaximal exercise stress tests have been used to estimate exercise tolerance in obese patients. The six-minute walk test (6MWT) has been used in diverse populations, including overweight and obese subjects8. Among the functions of this test the measurement of the functional capacity9 and the detection of eventual motor and cardiorespiratory limitations10 have been previously described. Given that, this task involves a submaximal effort it can provide the clinician a closer appreciation of the patients’ functional level, particularly during daily living activities11. Furthermore, it is a simple, reproducible, and inexpensive alternative in a clinical setting. However, the performance in this test depends on several demographic and anthropometric factors, such as age, height, and weight12)-(15. Moreover, performance-related parameters, such as percentage of heart rate reserve used during the test, rating of perceived exertion, and dyspnea scores, are also useful parameters that complement the screening of the functional capacity through this test12. Interestingly, the influence of these factors and performance-related parameters varies depending on the population where this test is applied12)-(14 along with test-related parameters, such as the protocol applied, length of the corridor, and the presence/absence of verbal encouragement16. Considering the high applicability of the 6MWT, it has been used previously in bariatric surgery candidates. For example, in 2009, Souza et al. compared the physical fitness through the 6MWT in obese subjects before and after undergoing bariatric surgery, finding that this test was sensible enough to detect improvements in this outcome following the expected weight loss after surgery, considering the average increase in distance covered by ~80 m. We highlight that they used a test protocol that included a 30 m corridor, and standardized verbal stimulation every 30 seconds11. Moreover, behind this increase in performance, steep decreases in BMI were observed (51 vs 29 kg/m2). These findings make us question the existence of BMI cut-off points that could be associated with significant changes in performance in the 6MWT. However, candidates for bariatric surgery present specific characteristics regarding demographic and anthropometric factors (e.g., weight, waist, and hip circumferences) along with physiological/performance-related (e.g., heart rate changes and rating perceived exertion) parameters. Therefore, the impact of the latter on the 6MWT performance within this population is unknown. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the influence of demographic (age), anthropometric, and physiological/performance-related parameters in the 6MWT distance covered in bariatric surgery candidates and the influence of gender across these parameters. METHODOLOGY Study design and subjects This was an observational, analytic, and cross-sectional study, exploring anthropometric and physiological factors that could influence the 6MWT performance in bariatric surgery candidates. Our sample included 107 participants (80 women) above 15 years of age, which were admitted to the rehabilitation/preparation program for bariatric surgery candidates of Clinica Alemana de Valdivia, between March 2017 and March 2019. Patients with medical contraindications to perform physical exercise were excluded. Figure 1 shows a detailed flowchart regarding the study’s sample. Figure 1 Participants flow diagram. 6MWT: six-minute walk test Considering that the data analyzed herein were produced as part of routine clinical work, the Ethics Committee did not require informed consent/assent form from the participants. Outcomes In admittance to the program, age in years and gender of patients were registered. Anthropometric factors, such as weight in kilograms and height in meters, were recorded using a weight and height scale (Seca®) respectively. Then, the body mass index (BMI; kilograms/meters2) was obtained. For the waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios, the waist circumference was measured using the umbilicus as reference point17, whereas the hip circumference was measured at the higher prominence level. The presence/absence of cardiovascular risk factors were measured using the criteria proposed by the American College of Sports Medicine18: age (for men >45 years; for women >55 years); premature age of a family member with a first-degree cardiovascular disease (for men <55 years; for women <65 years); the presence of: smoking, sedentarism, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prediabetes. The 6MWT was applied following the protocol established by the Chilean Society of Respiratory Diseases19. Briefly, in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Service of Clinica Alemana de Valdivia, a 30-meter plain straight hallway was delimited by two cones at its extremes. Before starting the test, participants stayed in a sitting position for 10 minutes, a period where resting heart rate and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE; by the modified Borg’s scale) were measured20. Afterward, the participants were instructed to walk as fast as they could through the hallway, back and forth, for six minutes. At the end of the test, performance-related parameters, such as the distance covered in meters, heart rate, and RPE, were registered. The percentage of heart rate reserve used (%HRR) was estimated using Karvonen’s equation21. Statistical analysis For all analyses, the SPSS (version 20) and GraphPad (version 7) software for Windows were used. Quantitative parameters were expressed in means and standard deviations, or median and interquartile range when necessary. Qualitative parameters were described in absolute frequencies. Comparisons between women and men were carried out to investigate the effect of gender in the outcomes of interest, using the Student’s t, Mann-Whitney’s, and chi-squared tests. To study possible correlations between outcomes, Spearman’s index was used22. Depending on the outcomes that exhibited significant correlations with the 6MWT performance, multiple linear regression models were obtained in order to estimate the amount of variability of the 6MWT performance that could be explained by those variables. Finally, a classification tree by a CHI-squared automatic interaction detector (CHAID) was calculated to explore the possibility of classifying performance in the 6MWT by outcomes of interest. A p-value ≤0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS As shown in Table 1, when comparing the age and waist-to-height ratio between men and women, no significant differences were found. In contrast, body weight, height, waist-to-hip ratio, and BMI were significantly higher in men. From the 107 initial participants, 83 volunteers were accepted to perform the 6MWT (58 women). In total, 24 volunteers were not able to perform the 6MWT due to musculoskeletal pain (e.g., osteoarthritis). Regarding 6MWT performance and associated factors, a slight but significant difference was found in resting heart rate, being higher in women, whereas the distance covered, %HRR, and RPE pre and post-6MWT were similar between genders. Complementarily, after comparing the cardiovascular risk factors distribution between men and women, no differences were observed (Table 2). We highlight that the records of only 105 patients were available for this analysis.

Regarding correlations between 6MWT performance and the anthropometric and physiological outcomes measured, height, BMI, waist-to-height ratio, and %HRR were associated with the 6MWT performance (Table 3). Interestingly, BMI was correlated with the waist-to-height ratio, but not with the waist-to-hip ratio. Moreover, it is possible that the waist-to-hip ratio could be influenced by height in our sample, given the significant correlation found between these two parameters.

Then, BMI along with %HRR explained a variability of 21% in 6MWT distance covered (Table 4). Moreover, by a CHAID classification analysis, we found that participants with a BMI higher than 41.5 kg/m2 walked almost 50 m less than their counterparts below this level, a difference that was statistically significant (Figure 2).

DISCUSSION This study aimed to investigate the influence of demographic/anthropometric factors and performance-related parameters in the 6MWT performance in candidates for bariatric surgery. In our sample, height, BMI, and waist-to-height ratio indicate a low but significant association with the distance covered during this test. Furthermore, only two variables (BMI and %HRR) explained some of the variability on this submaximal test (21%). Regarding distance covered - when analyzing the performance of our sample - our results are similar to what others have reported previously. In this context, Terra et al. observed that a group of patients, before undergoing bariatric surgery, walked around 500 meters during the 6MWT23. These results are interesting considering that the ages of those subjects were similar to the age of our sample, which indicates the high reproducibility of this test, as previously described in obese individuals8. Furthermore, we highlight that the distance covered by our patients was similar to what has been described for healthy populations (~500 meters)24 with similar ages14. These findings question the influence of body weight on the ability to perform submaximal efforts. Previous studies failed to detect significant differences in terms of 6MWT distance covered after comparing subjects with BMI levels between 25 and 35 kg/m2 with peers above this level25. Based on the participants that performed the test, we concluded that BMI has a mild but significant association with the 6MWT distance covered. The main influence of the test was observed in subjects with BMI levels above 40 kg/m2, since patients with BMI higher than 41.5 kg/m2 showed lower performance in this test, a difference that has been previously described as clinically significant (~50 meters)26. Thus, BMI seems to affect the aerobic capacity in people with obesity, however, this effect would only be visible at certain levels. For example, Angoorani et al. conducted the 6MWT with candidates for bariatric surgery who had a similar mean age compared to our group (40 years). Interestingly, they walked 150 meters less than our patients, nevertheless, the mean participants’ BMI of that study was ~44 kg/m2 (27, higher than in our sample (~35 kg/m2). Therefore, body mass could affect the submaximal performance in candidates for bariatric surgery, however, this effect could only be seen in patients with high degrees of obesity. One aspect that was not investigated was the influence of musculoskeletal pain, which hampered 24 of our participants to perform the 6MWT. Considering its relevance, future studies should explore the influence of this factor in the 6MWT performance, particularly in candidates for bariatric surgery. An interesting point to be considered when comparing 6MWT results from different studies is the variability of protocols used, where parameters such as length of the corridor, verbal encouragement, and instructions given to patients are significant16. In our study, we had a 30 m corridor with a standardized verbal encouragement every minute, where the instructions were given at the beginning of the test19. Coincidentally, Angoorani et al., which studied a similar population, used a protocol where the corridor was 100-ft long (30.5 m) and the verbal encouragement was standardized and given every minute27. Therefore, our results can be compared with this study with a certain level of certainty. However, Souza et al. gave verbal encouragement every 30 s11, a fact that hinders direct comparisons with their results, therefore, a close analysis of the protocol used should be done before comparing results from different studies in the field. To understand why the submaximal capacity seems to be preserved in people with lower levels of obesity, previous studies have described that people with obesity incur higher physical workloads when performing submaximal activities28. Considering this, one explanation could be that this higher workload sustained during daily living activities, such as walking, would preserve their capacity to make submaximal efforts. In that regard, previous studies have described the relevance of workload for physical function preservation, even in obesity conditions29. However, this hypothesis requires further investigation in order to be tested. According to our findings, physiological factors seem to play a role in the submaximal capacity of bariatric surgery candidates. In this context, in our study, we observed that during the 6MWT, participants used a ~40% of their HRR, lower levels compared to healthy populations where HRR usage in this test has been described to be above 60%13),(14. One possible explanation is the development of chronotropic incompetence, which is defined as the inability of the heart to raise its rate when physical workload increases in are imposed30. In this regard, previous studies have described impaired chronotropic responses in progressive tests to exhaustion in subjects with obesity, that is, these subjects presented lower maximal heart rates compared to lean counterparts31. This condition is associated with autonomic dysfunctions, which are also related to higher mortality risk32 and exercise intolerance in other populations33. Moreover, we found positive correlations between the 6MWT distance covered and %HRR, which could indicate that the chronotropic response might play a role in obese patients. However, no studies regarding the presence of chronotropic incompetence in candidates for bariatric surgery are known, therefore, future studies within the field should focus on this outcome. Complementarily, the possibility that our participants did not execute the 6MWT properly is not plausible, given that the reported RPE levels by our sample are similar to what was reported previously for healthy individuals13),(14 and populations with cardio ventilatory dysfunctions12. In our study, no major gender effects were found regarding the 6MWT performance-related parameters, even when previous studies have indicated clear differences in regarding distance covered during the 6MWT between women and men14. This finding could be explained by the differences observed in some of the anthropometric factors, given that men had higher weight and BMI levels than women, factors that are negatively associated with the 6MWT distance covered14),(25. Moreover, the fact that the average age of both genders was similar, highlight the relevance of anthropometric factors in this population. However, other physiological and anthropometric factors that were not measured may be playing a role when comparing genders in an obesity context, such as muscle mass and muscle strength and quality34, along with cardiorespiratory fitness35. Therefore, future studies should consider the measurement of these outcomes to have a more comprehensive analysis of the factors and parameters that influence the 6MWT performance during obesity. As limitation of this study, our participants were selected by a non-probabilistic sampling, therefore, future reports should have a multicenter approach in order to obtain representative results for the population of bariatric surgery candidates. On top of this, the distribution between males and females in our sample was not balanced, which could incur bias considering the over-representation of women in the analysis. Moreover, no osteoarticular pain measurements were included, a factor that was described as significant regarding the limitation in daily living activities and quality of life of this population, regardless of cardiovascular function36. Also, outcomes regarding the physiologic response before and during (minute by minute)37 the 6MWT, such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and breathing rate, were not assessed. These factors are known to be affected by inflammatory states such as obesity38. Furthermore, the absence of a gold standard measurement for the body composition measurement hinders the possibility to establish eventual associations with, for example, visceral adipose tissue levels. Nevertheless, the use of simple and easy-to-measure anthropometric outcomes increases the replicability and applicability of this study results. CONCLUSION Among the anthropometric and physiological factors considered in this study, BMI and %HRR were associated with the 6MWT performance in bariatric surgery candidates. Moreover, we found that even when the participants walked a distance closer to what has been described for healthy populations, lower heart rate increases were reported during the 6MWT in this group, a finding that could suggest the presence of cardiac dysfunctions during submaximal efforts, which requires further exploration in the future.
