Impact of Age on Obesity-related Comorbidity After Gastric Bypass: A Cohort Study From the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg)

This, together with the finding that bariatric surgery is safe in this group of patients, suggests that age should not be considered an exclusion criterion by itself.
