Influence of Weight Loss on Obesity-Associated Complications After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), most adolescents experience weight loss and improvement of many obesity-associated complications (OACs). The relationship between weight loss and remission of OACs after MBS in adolescents has not been well described.

Methods

The Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) is a multi-institutional prospective observational study of adolescents who underwent MBS between 2007 and 2012. Lower-weight-loss responders (LWLRs) were defined as having <20% total body weight loss (TBWL) and higher-weight-loss responders (HWLRs) were defined as having ≥20% TBWL at 5 years after MBS. The prevalence of OACs was compared at baseline and 5 years after MBS.

Results

Both LWLRs (n = 114) and HWLRs (n = 78) los
