Gastric surgery-induced weight loss is linked to reduced inflammation and improved anxiety and eating behavior.
Why the study?
Obesity-related chronic low-grade inflammation may contribute to emotional distress and behavioral symptoms, but the relationship with adiposity, inflammation, eating behavior, and emotional status in obese women was not fully understood.
Does gastric surgery improve emotional status and eating behaviour by reducing inflammation in women with severe or morbid obesity?
