Aims: Life expectancy is reduced in people with obesity and is further reduced in those with concomitant type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study was to assess whether a 2-year delay in diabetes development influences life expectancy in people with obesity.

Materials And Methods: Participants from the Swedish Obese Subjects study without diabetes at baseline and known diabetes status at the 2-year follow-up were included: bariatric surgery (n = 1471) and usual obesity care (n = 1392).

Background: People with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have reduced life expectancy, partly explained by increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Here, we examined whether 2-year diabetes remission after bariatric surgery or usual care is associated with long-term mortality.

Materials And Methods: This report includes 586 participants with obesity and concomitant T2D from the prospective Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) cohort study; 338 underwent bariatric surgery and 248 received usual obesity care.

Importance: Obesity and insulin are risk factors for breast cancer, and retrospective studies suggest bariatric surgery reduces breast cancer risk in women. However, long-term prospective data on breast cancer risk after bariatric surgery and the role of baseline insulin levels are lacking.

Objective: To examine if bariatric surgery is associated with breast cancer incidence in women and if treatment benefit is modified by baseline insulin levels.

Background: Bariatric surgery in people with obesity is associated with a reduced overall cancer risk. Retrospective studies indicate that bariatric surgery specifically might reduce the risk of haematological cancers, but there is an absence of data from long-term, prospective studies. We therefore studied the association between bariatric surgery and haematological cancer in the Swedish Obese Subjects study.

Objectives: To determine life expectancy and causes of death after bariatric surgery in relation to baseline type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the prospective, Swedish Obese Subjects study.

Methods: The study included 2010 patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery and 2037 matched controls, eligible for surgery. The surgery group underwent gastric bypass (n = 265), banding (n = 376), or vertical banded gastroplasty (n = 1369).

Article Synopsis
  • Clonal haematopoiesis related to somatic mutations was analyzed in individuals with obesity, comparing those receiving usual care and those undergoing bariatric surgery over a 20-year period. * -
  • The study found a similar prevalence of clonal haematopoiesis-driver mutations in both treatment groups, with higher clone sizes correlating with age in usual care but not in bariatric surgery patients. * -
  • An increase in variant allele frequency (VAF) linked to low HDL-cholesterol levels was observed in individuals treated by usual care, suggesting a potential connection between metabolic health and clone growth.*

Objective: Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, but it is unknown if outcomes differ between adults with early- versus adult-onset obesity. We investigated how obesity status at 20 years of age affects outcomes after bariatric surgery later in life.

Research Design And Methods: The Swedish Obese Subjects study is a prospective matched study performed at 25 surgical departments and 480 primary health care centers.

Background: Chromosome 16 p11.2 microdeletion is associated with early-onset obesity. Information is limited about the effect of bariatric surgery in patients with genetic obesity.
