Obesity is currently one of the most substantial health burdens. Due to the production of marked and sustained weight loss, bariatric surgery is an increasingly used therapeutic modality to combat obesity and its comorbidities. Surgical rearrangement of the gastrointestinal tract remarkably alters metabolism and hormones acting on neurological and hypothalamic signalling, involved in food decision-making and eating behaviour. In this context, many patients who underwent bariatric surgery self-report changes in appetite, satiety and food preferences. Furthermore, new gut hormone-based (e.g. GLP-1 receptor agonist or GLP-1-RA) pharmacotherapies which mimic the effect of bariatric surgery show impressive efficacy on weight reduction by modulation of food behaviour. However, the mechanisms of such functional changes, and how they relate to food decision-making and food purchase behaviour remain unknown.
In Part 2 of the BrainFood-project, the investigators propose a novel approach using digital receipts from loyalty card to unravel the effect of obesity treatments (surgical and non-surgical) on eating and food purchase behaviour in daily life.
The overall aim of this project is to elucidate the changes in food behaviour among obese adults undergoing obesity treatments.
The main objective is to observe the effect of obesity treatments on food purchase behaviour using digital receipts from grocery shopping. The investigators hypothesize that bariatric surgery leads to changes in food purchase behaviour in obese adults.
The further objective is to compare food purchase behaviour between obese adults against values of an existing reference population, and to assess whether these differences tend to be reduced after the start of the treatment among obese participants.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Obesity treatment Group | 60 (minimum) to 150 (maximum) overweight/obese adults referred for or who started obesity (surgical or non-surgical) treatment within 6 months |
| |
| Control Group | Comparison of food purchase behaviour with control subjects will be performed using an already existing cohort from a previous study. This does not required recruiting control subjects. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Questionnaire (Survey and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ)) | Other | Each participant will be asked to fill a web-based questionnaire that captures sociodemographic, lifestyle, physical and mental health information (Survey) and dietary intake patterns (FFQ). This will be done pre-treatment (only for those included pre-treatment), 6 months after the start of obesity treatment, 1 year after the start of the treatment and then yearly until 5 year after the start of the treatment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in food purchase behaviour on the basis of the Healthy Trolley Index (HETI) | Changes in food purchase behaviour pre-treatment will be compared to post-treatment on the basis of the HETI, an objective and validated, nutrient-based, healthy shopping scoring system. | Pre-treatment until 5 years after start of obesity treatment |
| Changes in food purchase behaviour on the basis of the Grocery Purchase Quality Index (GPQI) | Changes in food purchase behaviour pre-treatment will be compared to post-treatment on the basis of the GPQI, an objective and validated, nutrient-based, healthy shopping scoring system. | Pre-treatment until 5 years after start of obesity treatment |
| Changes in food purchase behaviour on the basis of food groups | Changes in food purchase behaviour pre-treatment will be compared to post-treatment on the basis of food groups like vegetables, wholegrain, fruits, sweets and meats. | Pre-treatment until 5 years after start of obesity treatment |
| Changes in food purchase behaviour on the basis of nutrition facts | Changes in food purchase behaviour pre-treatment will be compared to post-treatment on the basis of nutrition facts like energy (kcal), carbohydrates, sugars, added sugars, protein, fat, saturated fat, dietary fibre and salt. | Pre-treatment until 5 years after start of obesity treatment |
| Changes in food purchase behaviour on the basis of the Nutri-Score | Changes in food purchase behaviour pre-treatment will be compared to post-treatment on the basis of the Nutri-Score, representing the nutritional quality of products. The Nutri-Score is based on a discrete continuous scale from -15 (most healthy) to 40 (least healthy). The score is then transcribed into five colour categories (A-E, ranging from bright green (most healthy) to red (least healthy)). |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation between food purchase patterns (i.e. HETI, GPQI, food groups, nutrition facts, Nutri-Score) and self-perceived quality of life | Quality of life will be assessed using on a scale from 1 (very bad) to 5 (very good) | Pre-treatment until 5 years after start of obesity treatment |
| Changes in energy intake |
