Surgery vs. pills: which works better for Seniors' weight and health?
NCT ID NCT07437716
Summary
This study compared weight loss surgery to standard medical care in 60 adults aged 65 and older who had severe obesity and related health issues like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or knee arthritis. Over 12 months, researchers tracked which treatment led to better improvements in these conditions, more weight loss, and fewer medication needs. The goal was to see if surgery is a safe and effective option for managing obesity-related diseases in older adults.
