Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate whether the upper age limit of 65 years for bariatric surgery in Japan is justified by analyzing outcomes for patients younger and older than this threshold.
- Data was collected from 2885 patients under 65 and 56 patients over 65, focusing on weight loss, improvement in health conditions, and complication rates post-surgery.
- The findings showed that while patients over 65 experienced slightly less weight loss, their surgical outcomes and complication rates were comparable to younger patients, suggesting that metabolic surgery is safe for older individuals with severe obesity.
