Abstract

Obesity is defined as an abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat, which can reach degrees capable of affecting health. A direct correlation is known to exist between the increase of body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of comorbidities, resulting in a negative impact on life expectancy and public health spending. Among all treatments currently available for obesity, bariatric surgery is the one with the best results in terms of excess weight loss and remission of comorbidities, and additional positive effects on adipose tissue function, insulin sensitivity, liver fat content and function, as well as overall improvement of metabolism and, consequently, increases in long-term quality of life. Biological and metabolic improvements are possible in severely obese patients after bariatric surgery.
