Abstract

<p>Background：Weight loss after gastrectomy is an important issue and nutritional maintenance is necessary, especially for the increasing number of elderly patients. In this study, we investigated the relationship between postoperative food intake and long‐term weight loss in postgastrectomy patients aged 75 years or older.Subjects and Methods：Of 88 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at our institute, 46 patients were aged over 75 years of age. These patients were divided into an average energy intake of more than 50％ of basal metabolic rate group, and an average energy intake of less than 50％ of basal metabolic rate group. The percentage change in body weight up to 6 months after surgery was compared between the groups.Results：In the group with higher dietary intake, the rate of weight change at 3 and 6 months postoperatively was lower, and fewer patients were receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.Conclusion：Postoperative poor food intake may predict weight loss up to 3 months postoperatively in postgastrectomy patients over 75 years of age.Elderly patients, Gastric cancer, Weight loss</p>
