Summary
This study looked at whether weight-loss surgery (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) helps older adults aged 65 and over who have severe obesity and related health issues like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or knee arthritis. Sixty patients chose either surgery or standard care with diet advice and medications. Over 12 months, researchers tracked changes in these conditions, weight loss, and safety. The goal was to see if surgery offers better control of these diseases compared to usual care alone.
