“…The author’s collaborative network suggests that intra-regional collaborations tend to be stronger than inter-regional ones in Asia and China, possibly owning to cost-saving benefits associated with geographic proximity [ 30 ]. Notably, a significant disparity persists in the field of BMS between Mainland China and Taiwan, possibly due to inconsistencies in surgical practices and training methodologies [ 31 ]. To mitigate these disparities, fostering robust collaborations among countries, regions, institutions, and researchers is essential.…”

“…Despite the nascent stage of sleeve gastrectomy in China, the procedure has been readily embraced by surgeons, facilitating its incorporation into practice [ 28 , 40 ]. This preference is driven by lower obesity rates and societal acceptance, with patients favoring safer options [ 31 , 41 , 42 ]. Moreover, the marked improvement in physical condition following the procedure can contribute to reducing prescription drug expenses [ 43 ].…”

Bariatric metabolic surgery’s global research interest is growing, particularly in Asia due to its high obesity rates. This study focuses on Asia, especially China, analyzing 3904 publications (1221 from China) from 1980 to 2022. Research output accelerated until the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by economic growth and rising obesity rates. China led contributions from 2010, but Western Asia led when adjusted for population. An intra-regional research collaboration network emerged, driven by geographic proximity and similar economic environments. Keyword analysis highlighted emerging topics like “laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy” and “non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,” indicating a shift in focus. The study recommends disseminating research in top-tier journals to enhance visibility and impact. Graphical Abstract

“…With the maturity and development of metabolic surgery technology, growing number of hospitals are carrying out metabolic surgery therapy, which benefits continually increasing number of patients with obesity and T2DM. In the past 5 years, >5000 patients each year in China underwent metabolic surgery ( Ding and Zheng, 2016 ; Yang et al, 2019 ).…”

Obesity and its related complications comprise a serious public health problem worldwide, and obesity is increasing in China. Metabolic surgery is a new type of treatment with unique advantages in weight loss and obesity-related metabolic complications. The pathogenesis of obesity is complex and not yet fully understood. Here, we review the current efficacy and safety of metabolic surgery, as well as recent progress in mechanistic studies and surgical procedures in China. The exciting and rapid advances in this field provide new opportunities for patients with obesity and strike a balance between long-term effectiveness and safety.

“…Indeed, structured exercise and physical activity programming in combination with dietary counseling may help to optimize and sustain bariatric surgery outcomes (5, 10, 11). Unfortunately, not only are such programs rarely provided in real-world, clinical settings, providers and health services worldwide do not routinely provide simple exercise guidance (12). This may partly be because no established guidelines currently exist for exercise after bariatric surgery.…”

Background: Physical activity (PA) is important for the long-term health and weight management of patients who undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). However, the roles of exercise professionals in clinical MBS settings have not been systematically determined. Objectives: To investigate: (1) who are the professionals implementing PA programming in MBS clinical settings; and (2) what patient-centric tasks do they perform? Setting: Clinical and academic exercise settings worldwide. Methods: This is a multimethod study. A systematic literature review of all bariatric PA programs was conducted. Data about job tasks were extracted, reduced and provided to a panel of 10 experts to sort into categories. Cluster analysis was utilized to find the hierarchical structure of tasks. A Delphi process was used to agree on a final model, and then the literature was recoded for higher order job task categories. Results: The majority of PA professionals were exercise physiologists in the USA and physiotherapists or other types of exercise professionals elsewhere. Forty-three tasks were identified, the most reported being: supervision of exercise, fitness testing, and exercise prescription. Higher-order categories were: (1) Exercise-related health assessment, (2) Body composition and physical fitness assessment, (3) Lifestyle physical activity and sedentary behavior assessment, (4) Education, instruction, and prescription, (5) Exercise monitoring, (6) Behavioral counseling and psychosocial support, and (7) Dietary support. The most common skills reported in the literature were: supervision of exercise, fitness testing, exercise prescription, heart rate monitoring, and physical activity counseling. The following statements were rated an average of 9.0, indicating "imperative" was indicated by all respondents: 1) "Pre- and post-operative PA/exercise guidelines for bariatric surgery patients are needed", 2) "Bariatric surgery programs need to include PA/exercise as part of multidisciplinary care". Conclusions: Our expert group of bariatric exercise professionals, allied clinicians, and scientists reached a consensus on 7 major classifications of job tasks for the exercise professional. It is important for governing medical associations across the world to formally recognize experienced exercise professionals as playing pivotal roles in continuing, multidisciplinary care for bariatric surgery patients. These findings provide evidence-based guidance on how to solidify these positions within the greater context of healthcare.
