Key result
Bariatric surgery is associated with significant and durable weight loss and improvement of obesity-related comorbidities, including components of metabolic syndrome.
Why the study?
Does bariatric surgery improve metabolic syndrome components and cardiovascular risk in patients with obesity?
Does bariatric surgery improve metabolic syndrome components and cardiovascular risk in patients with obesity?
Bariatric surgery provides significant and durable weight loss with improvements in metabolic syndrome components and long-term cardiovascular risk.
Supports bariatric surgery evaluation in obesity with metabolic syndrome; leaves open need for RCTs on CV endpoints.
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, numerous cancers and increased mortality. It is estimated that at least 2.8 million adults die each year due to obesity-related cardiovascular disease. Increasing in parallel with the global obesity problem is metabolic syndrome, which has also reached epidemic levels. Numerous studies have demonstrated that bariatric surgery is associated with significant and durable weight loss with associated improvement of obesity-related comorbidities. This review aims to summarize the effects of bariatric surgery on the components of metabolic syndrome (hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hypertension), weight loss, perioperative morbidity and mortality, and the long-term impact on cardiovascular risk and mortality.

Corcelles et al. (2015) conducted a review in Obesity and metabolic syndrome. Bariatric surgery was evaluated on Effects on components of metabolic syndrome, weight loss, perioperative morbidity and mortality, and long-term cardiovascular risk and mortality. Bariatric surgery is associated with significant and durable weight loss and improvement of obesity-related comorbidities, including components of metabolic syndrome.
