Effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on weight loss and metabolic improvement in subjects aged 65 years or older: a subanalysis of J-SMART study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate the effect of weight loss and metabolic improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in older adults aged 65 years or over compared with younger adults in a retrospective analysis.

Methods

The J-SMART study database of 322 Japanese individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m² who underwent LSG between 2011 and 2014 at 10 centers accredited by the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity were analyzed. The subjects were classified into two groups: ≥65 age group (range, 65-76 years; n = 25) and <65 age group (range, 22-64 years; n = 297). Clinical parameters were compared between the groups.

Results

Baseline data for the ≥65 vs. <65 age groups were: median age 67 years vs. 45 years; weight 92.7 kg vs. 114.4 kg; BMI 40.0 kg/m
