Abstract
Background and aims
Bariatric surgery (BS) leads to a durable weight loss and remission of diabetes, but the long-term impact on hypertension and lipid disorders is not unequivocal. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of BS on the level of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and estimate CV risk 10 years following BS.
Methods
The study included patients who underwent BS in 2010–2015, re-evaluated in 2023–2024. The CV risk was estimated using the Pooled Cohort Equations calculator.
Results
The analysis included 188 patients (76 % women), with a mean age of 43.3 ± 9.8 years, who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (73.4 %) and gastric bypass (26.6 %). The observation period lasted 10 (9–11) years, and BMI decreased from 41.7 (38.2–46.0) kg/m2 to 33.9 (29.4–38.8) kg/m2 (p < 0.001). The prevalence of hypertension decreased from 76.6 % to 67.0 % (p < 0.05), while the prevalence of diabetes (31.9 % vs. 23.9 %; p = 0.08), hypercholesterolemia (77.1 % vs. 70.7 %; p = 0.16), and smoking (from 35.6 % to 31.4 %; p = 0.39) did not change significantly. CV risk increased from 1.6 % (0.6–4.2 %) to 2.6 % (1.0–6.7 %) (p < 0.001). Since patients examined during the follow-up examination were 10 years older and since age is a main driver of CV risk, we also calculated CV risk using the baseline age, which was significantly lower, 1.1 % (0.4–3.0 %; p < 0.001 vs baseline).
Conclusions
Long-term weight reduction following BS is related to the decrease in the estimated CV risk.
期刊介绍:
Atherosclerosis has an open access mirror journal Atherosclerosis: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Atherosclerosis brings together, from all sources, papers concerned with investigation on atherosclerosis, its risk factors and clinical manifestations. Atherosclerosis covers basic and translational, clinical and population research approaches to arterial and vascular biology and disease, as well as their risk factors including: disturbances of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, diabetes and hypertension, thrombosis, and inflammation. The Editors are interested in original or review papers dealing with the pathogenesis, environmental, genetic and epigenetic basis, diagnosis or treatment of atherosclerosis and related diseases as well as their risk factors.
