The analysis of weight gain was also stratified by demographic data, chronic illness, menopausal status and adjuvant therapy.
Results: This sample had a mean age of 50.5. Before the BC surgery, a majority of them were menopause (56.7%), without history of DM, hypertension or heart disease (89.5%); and they had a mean weight of 58.2kg (SD=9.55kg) and 23.8 (SD=3.9) for the BMI. Weight gain was accounted for 50% or more with the maximum of 17.3kg increased at 1, 3, 5, 12, 24 months after. The weights changed significantly along the time course, with the peak at the 5the month after the surgery.
