Effect of bariatric surgery on atherogenicity and insulin resistance in patients with obesity class II: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Enormous efforts have been made to evaluate reliable, simple and practical indicators for predicting patients at risk of progression of cardiovascular disease events, whereby bariatric surgery has remained understudied. Thus, we performed this study to assess the effect of bariatric surgery procedures on atherogenicity and insulin resistance indicators.

Design

Cohort study.

Setting, participants and outcome measures

Four hundred and forty-three class II obese (severely obese) patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, or one anastomosis gastric bypass were followed up for 12 months after surgery. Atherosclerosis-related indicators were evaluated at baseline, as well as 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Results

Atherogenic index
