Summary
This study looks at three ways to lose weight—medication, surgery, or diet—to see which helps people with metabolic syndrome (a mix of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity) live longer and healthier. About 220 adults aged 35-65 will take part for 24 weeks. Researchers will track weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, and quality of life to find the most effective and cost-saving approach.
