Obesity at younger age? Bariatric surgery may help
Researchers have found that surgical treatment of obesity is as effective for individuals who developed the disorder early, by the age of 20, as for those who have developed obesity later in life.
The results, published in the journal Diabetes Care, are based on data from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study.
For the fndings, the researchers covered a total of 4,026 adult individuals who had developed obesity. Half of them had undergone bariatric surgery and the other half were a control group.
