Key result
Bariatric surgery improved physical activity levels (IPAQ scores: BS2 207.50, BS4 210.67, BS6 220.00), quality of life, and cardiometabolic risk factors up to 10 years postoperatively.
Why the study?
Obesity is a highly prevalent chronic metabolic disease approaching epidemic proportions in developing countries, prompting evaluation of activity levels, quality of life, clinical and laboratory parameters, and cardiometabolic risk factors following bariatric surgery.
Does bariatric surgery improve cardiometabolic risk factors, physical activity levels, and quality of life in patients with morbid obesity up to 10 years post-surgery?
Population
78 patients who underwent bariatric surgery
Comparison
Stratified groups evaluated 1-2, 2-4, 4-6, and 6-10 years after bariatric surgery
Follow-up
Up to 10 years

May support durable post-bariatric benefits; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm causality and guide practice.

Does bariatric surgery improve cardiometabolic risk factors, physical activity levels, and quality of life in patients with morbid obesity up to 10 years post-surgery?
Bariatric surgery is associated with sustained long-term improvements in cardiometabolic risk profiles, physical activity, and quality of life in patients with morbid obesity.
Pereira et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Obesity (n=78). Bariatric surgery was evaluated on Physical activity levels, quality of life, and cardiometabolic risk factors. Bariatric surgery improved physical activity levels (IPAQ scores: BS2 207.50, BS4 210.67, BS6 220.00), quality of life, and cardiometabolic risk factors up to 10 years postoperatively.
