Weight-Loss Surgery May Significantly Lower Obese People’s Risk Of Premature Death.

reports, “Weight-loss surgery might significantly lower obese people’s risk of premature death,” research presented at the European Obesity Summit suggests. In the study, which involved 22,500 people who underwent weight-loss surgery between 2000 and 2011 and some 26,000 people who did not undergo weight-loss surgery, researchers found that “five years after surgery, the death rate was just over one percent for those who had weight-loss surgery and four percent among those in the non-surgery group.” https://consumer.healthday.com/vitamins-and-nutrition-information-27/obesity-health-news-505/weight-loss-surgery-boosts-survival-711595.html
