TL;DR: Bariatric surgery for severe obesity is associated with long-term weight loss and decreased overall mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifestyle, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors 10 Years after Bariatric Surgery
TL;DR: A prospective, controlled Swedish Obese Subjects Study involved obese subjects who underwent gastric surgery and contemporaneously matched, conventionally treated obese control subjects, which reported follow-up data for subjects who had been enrolled for at least 2 years or 10 years before the analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
XENical in the prevention of diabetes in obese subjects (XENDOS) study: a randomized study of orlistat as an adjunct to lifestyle changes for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in obese patients
TL;DR: Compared with lifestyle changes alone, orlistat plus lifestyle changes resulted in a greater reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes over 4 years and produced greater weight loss in a clinically representative obese population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of adipose tissue and risk of cardiovascular disease and death: a 12 year follow up of participants in the population study of women in Gothenburg, Sweden.
TL;DR: The relation between the ratio of waist to hip circumference and the end points of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and death was stronger than for any other anthropometric variable studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the key results from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) trial – a prospective controlled intervention study of bariatric surgery
TL;DR: Whereas high insulin and/or high glucose at baseline predicted favourable treatment effects, high baseline BMI did not, indicating that current selection criteria for bariatric surgery need to be revised.
