AI Article Synopsis
- Bariatric surgery can be effective for weight loss in patients over 65, but there's ongoing debate about when and how to perform it due to risks and recovery concerns.
- A study analyzed 274 obese patients aged over 65 to assess factors influencing successful weight loss, utilizing data from 11 medical centers and comparing different surgical outcomes.
- Key findings indicated that preoperative BMI, the duration of diabetes, and other factors significantly correlated with weight loss success, with OAGB surgery showing the highest effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Background: Although bariatric surgery in patients over 65 years of age gives comparable results to treatment in the younger population, there are still controversies regarding the indications for surgery, risk assessment, and choice between different types of surgery. The study aimed to identify the factors contributing to weight loss success after bariatric surgery in patients over 65 years of age.
Material And Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with obesity aged over 65 years undergoing primary laparoscopic bariatric surgery in the years 2008-2022. Data came from 11 bariatric centers. Patients were divided into two groups: responders (R) who achieved more than 50% EWL and nonresponders (NR) who achieved less than 50% EWL. Both groups were compared. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of weight loss success.
Results: Out of 274 analyzed patients, the average BMI before surgery was 42.9 kg/m 2 . The most common obesity-related diseases were hypertension (85.1%) and type 2 diabetes (53.3%). Sleeve gastrectomy was the most frequently performed procedure (85.4%). Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed preoperative BMI (OR=0.9, 95% CI: 0.82-0.98, P =0.02), duration of diabetes >10 years (OR=0.3, 95% CI: 0.09-0.82, P =0.02), balloon placement (OR=10.6, 95% CI: 1.33-84.83, P =0.03), time since first visit (OR=0.9, 95% CI: 0.84-0.99, P =0.04), preoperative weight loss (OR=0.9, 95% CI: 0.86-0.98, P =0.01), and OAGB (OR=15.7, 95% CI: 1.71-143.99, P =0.02) to have a significant impact on weight loss success 1 year after bariatric surgery.
Conclusions: Patients with higher preoperative weight loss may have a poorer response to surgery. OAGB emerged as the most beneficial type of surgery in terms of weight loss. Intragastric balloon placement before surgery may be effective in patients above 65 years of age and may be considered as a two-stage approach.

Plant extracts and bacterial biofilm are acknowledged to offer impressive corrosion-inhibitory activities. However, anticorrosive properties of their combination are still less reported. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of Saccharum officinarum bagasse (SOB) plant extract, Pseudomonas chlororaphis (P.

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly in recent years and is a causal risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, chronic degenerative joint diseases are also triggered by obesity.
Weight Loss: Both obesity-related secondary diseases-type 2 diabetes and chronic degenerative joint disease-can be prevented or at least delayed by lifestyle intervention aimed at weight reduction.

Context: Physical activity, exercise, or both are a staple of lifestyle management approaches both for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While the current literature supports both physical activity and exercise for improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risk, maintaining proper weight, and enhancing overall well-being, the optimal prescription regimen remains debated.
Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies on exercise, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control in people with T1DM and T2DM.
