   <dcterms:abstract>Advances in research have linked alterations of circadian rhythms with obesity. However, few&lt;/p>&lt;p>studies have focused on the recovery of the circadian expression after a weight loss treatment.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Our aim was to study the alterations of the circadian rhythmicity due to morbid obesity and the&lt;/p>&lt;p>recovery of the circadian pattern after weight loss in a cohort of patients who underwent sleeve&lt;/p>&lt;p>gastrectomy. For this purpose, 41 patients with severe obesity (75% women; age [mean (SD)]&lt;/p>&lt;p>49.7 ± 10 years; BMI 44.3 ± 6.2 kg/m2) were monitored before bariatric surgery and 9 months&lt;/p>&lt;p>afterward. On both occasions, activity and wrist temperature were determined by actigraphy and&lt;/p>&lt;p>were related with weight loss. Anthropometric, biochemical, and sleep-related variables, along with&lt;/p>&lt;p>dietary intake and physical activity, were analyzed in relation with circadian rhythmicity. Results&lt;/p>&lt;p>show significant differences in the circadian expression before and after 9 months of bariatric&lt;/p>&lt;p>surgery, with more stable and less fragmented rhythms after weight loss. Moreover, only after&lt;/p>&lt;p>surgery were the circadian variables associated to sleep timing and chronotype. The findings of this&lt;/p>&lt;p>study indicate that weight loss treatment in patients with morbid obesity improves the circadian&lt;/p>&lt;p>rhythm expression, and in such a way that it could be associated with better sleep quality.&lt;/p>&lt;p>Moreover, it allows the recovery of the relationship between sleep patterns and circadian rhythm&lt;/p>&lt;p>that was lost due to the obesity.</dcterms:abstract>
