Type 2 diabetes remission and metabolic outcomes 5 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in young vs older adults: a multicentre matched cohort study

Key Points

• Investigate the differences in diabetes remission and metabolic outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in young and older adults.
• Multicentre matched cohort study design
• Comparison of diabetes remission rates between young and older adults after RYGB
• Assessment of surgical complications and metabolic outcomes over 5 years
• Younger adults experienced earlier and more frequent diabetes remission compared to older adults
