TL;DR: In this article, the effects of bariatric surgery on the prevention of Type 2 diabetes were examined using data from a non-randomized, prospective, controlled study, which included 1658 patients who underwent Bariatric surgery and 1771 obese matched controls (with matching performed on a group, rather than individual, level).

TL;DR: Bariatric surgery was associated with reduced cancer incidence in obese women but not in obese men, and after exclusion of all cancer cases during the first 3 years of the intervention.

TL;DR: Evaluation, prevention, and treatment: prevention of obesity classification and evaluation of the overweight patient behaviourial approaches to the treatment of Obesity dietary treatment of obesity exercise as a treatment for obesity treatment of overweighed NIDDM patients.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the amount of visceral AT and the ratio of abdominal to femoral AT measured by CT are important correlates of the alterations in carbohydrate and lipoprotein metabolism observed in obese men, and suggest that, in men, a high accumulation of femoral fat may be protective against the adverse effects of obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, on plasma lipop protein levels.
