Mortality in relation to diabetes remission in Swedish Obese Subjects - a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have reduced life expectancy, partly explained by increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Here, we examined whether 2-year diabetes remission after bariatric surgery or usual care is associated with long-term mortality.

Materials and methods

This report includes 586 participants with obesity and concomitant T2D from the prospective Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) cohort study; 338 underwent bariatric surgery and 248 received usual obesity care. At inclusion, age was 37-60 years and BMI ≥34 kg/m 2 in men and ≥38 kg/m 2 in women. Median follow-up was 26.2 years (interquartile range 22.7-28.7). Diabetes status was determined using self-reported data on diabetes medication and in-study measures of blood glucose
