@entity28 is one of the risk factors for developing @entity4269 following @entity0 treatment. We prospectively enrolled 140 @entity1 and followed the @entity1 for 12 months after surgery to investigate patterns of @entity28 and lymph fluid level in the first year of @entity5 treatment. Electrical bioimpedance devices were used to measure weight, BMI, and percent of body fat as well as lymph fluid level. General instructions were given to the @entity1 on maintaining pre-surgery weight. Among the 140 @entity1 , 136 completed the study with 2.9% attrition. More than 60% of the @entity1 were @entity28 (30.8%) or overweight (32.4%), while only two @entity1 were underweight and about 35% had normal weight. This pattern of @entity28 and overweight was consistent at 4-8 weeks and 12 months post-surgery. At 12 months post-surgery, the majority of the @entity1 (72.1%) maintained pre-surgery weight and 15.4% had >5% weight loss; 12.5% of the @entity1 increase >5% of their weight. Significantly more @entity1 in the @entity28 group had @entity4269 defined by L-Dex ratio >7.1 than those in the normal/underweight and overweight group at pre-surgery and 4-8 weeks post-surgery. There was a trend of more @entity1 in the @entity28 group had L-Dex ratio >7.1 at 12 months post-surgery. @entity28 and overweight remain among @entity1 at the time of @entity5 diagnosis and the patterns of @entity28 and overweight continue during the first year of treatment. General instructions on having nutrition-balanced and portion-appropriate diet and physical activities daily or weekly can be effective to maintain pre-surgery weight.
