Type 2 diabetes, obesity: Weight loss surgery may lower death risk AskADoctor DailyHealthTips HealthcareMagic
New research finds significant health benefits associated with weight loss surgery in people with obesity.
New research presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, which takes place, this year, in Paris, France, suggests that bariatric, or weight loss, surgery can reduce the risk of premature mortality and cardiovascular problems more than standard medical care. Of the 2,287 participants who underwent weight loss surgery, 75% had a body mass index of 40 or above, which constitutes"extreme obesity." The minimum BMI in the group was 30, which is the lower threshold for obesity.
The research revealed that the people who had undergone weight loss surgery had a 40% lower risk of any of these events over an 8-year follow-up period. The risk of death, specifically, was 41% lower. "However, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that there are beneficial metabolic and hormonal changes after these surgical procedures that are independent of weight loss.""Now that we've seen these remarkable results, a well-designed randomized controlled trial is needed to definitively determine whether metabolic surgery can reduce the incidence of major heart problems in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
