Cardiovascular Risk Profile in Mediterranean Patients Submitted to Bariatric Surgery and Intensive Lifestyle Intervention: Impact of Both Interventions After 1 Year of Follow-Up

Abstract: Mediterranean patients undergoing a weight loss intervention have a low CV risk. In comparison with lifestyle intervention, surgery induces a better improvement of CV risk. This benefit is related to estimated CV risk, presence of diabetes, and cholesterol levels at baseline. These observations should be taken into account in order to optimize health resources.

“…Considerable improvement of all lipid sub-fractions was observed during follow-up in our study, in line with other investigations[20,25,26]. The Swedish obese subject (SOS) study indicated that the incidence rate of hypertriglyceridemia was significantly lower in the surgically treated group than in the control group after two years[27].…”

“…Consistent with our results, several studies have previously reported the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery on adiposity and cardio-metabolic profiles[18-20]. A prospective study conducted on 1156 severely obese participants in Utah reported that patients lost 27.7% of their initial body weight six years after RYGB surgery[21].…”

“…Additional searches of ClinicalTrials.gov and the reference list of included publications did not yield any further studies not included in the initial search. Of the 12 studies, 318 26 27 compared clinical outcomes in patients with HF undergoing bariatric surgery, 418 26 28 29 investigated heart function and morphology changes in patients with prevalent HF and 730–36 assessed incident HF in obese patients without HF prior to surgery.…”

“…Obesity and its associated co-morbidities are international public health concerns. As the prevalence of obesity has increased over the past decade, it has become clear that bariatric surgery can be more effective than diet and lifestyle interventions for weight loss and remediation of obesity-related morbidities [1–4] . Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery worldwide and involves physical reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract [5] .…”
