Abstract
SJÖSTRÖM, c. DAVID, LAUREN LISSNER, HANS WEDEL, and LARS SJÖSTRÖM. Reduction in incidence of diabetes, hypertension and lipid disturbances after intentional weight loss induced by bariatric surgery: the SOS Intervention Study. Obes Res. Objective: To examine the effect of a large, long standing and intentional weight reduction on the incidence of diabetes, hypertension and lipid disturbances in severely obese individuals as compared to weight-stable obese controls. Research Methods and Procedures: The ongoing prospective SOS (Swedish Obese Subjects) intervention consists of a surgically treated group and a matched control group obtaining conventional obesity treatment. This report is based on 845 surgically treated patients and 845 controls (BMI41. 0±4. 6 kg/m2 (mean±standard deviation [S])) followed for 2 years. Results: Surgically treated patients lost 28±15 kg and controls 0. 5±8. 9 kg (pDiscussion: Intentional weight loss in the obese causes a marked reduction in the 2-year incidence of hypertension, diabetes and some lipid disturbances. The results suggest that severe obesity can and should be treated.Keywords
