Abstract: Obesity has become one of the most significant health problems worldwide, affecting more than one-third of the global population. The elderly population is not immune to this proportional increase in obesity. To date, there is no cure for obesity, but surgery is the most effective treatment available today.We analyzed the results of bariatric surgery in elderly patients for a period of 3 years. Patients 65 years old and older were included in the study, 451 older adults were included. The mean age of the study… Show more

“…For instance, low statistical population, no focusing on specific types of Bariatric surgery, and no review on selection criteria can result in bias results. In some studies on patients who underwent Bariatric surgery including sleeve gastrectomy (most common procedure), gastric bypasses, and gastric banding there was no significant difference in EWL between groups younger than 65 and over 65 years of age in 6, 12 and 24 months period of time (4,8). In some other reports, subjects over 45 showed less EBMIL after 12 months in comparison to younger group (7,9), which were in line with our results.…”

“…In another survey, %EBMIL after 12 months was significantly lower in over 65 years of age group in comparison to the control group below 40 years old (7). Also a recent study showed that excess weight loss (EWL) is around 62% in 65-69 years old compared to 18% in over 80 years of age (P<0.001) which is significantly lesser than younger subgroups (8). On the other hand, it has been mentioned that age is not a significant factor in weight loss at 6, 12 and 24 months follow-up (4).…”

“…The main limitations of previous studies were the differences in age in patients considered as older adults, which varied from 50 to 70 years. Moreover, most of the studies included less than 100 patients, the subjects enrolled were mainly females, there was an imbalance in comorbidities in the control groups, and nutritional status reports were poor, all of which make it more challenging to achieve a favorable balance between benefit and risk for BS in older adults [ 15 , 16 ]. All the methodological limitations of previous studies have contributed to the controversy still remaining in regard to the indication of BS in older adults.…”

“…The authors believe that not only will the surgery option decrease the costs related with diabetes and hypertension management during follow-up, but it will also lead to an increase in life expectancy and well-being among these patients. These are crucial factors which are making other researchers start to question the legitimacy of setting 65 years as the maximum age for performing bariatric surgery [19]. Data regarding the impact of bariatric surgery on cardiometabolic risk among elderly individuals found a benefic effect on weight loss, glucose and lipid profile.…”
