People with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery controlled their blood pressure more effectively and took fewer medications at 5 years than those who only received antihypertensive medications, according to findings from a randomized clinical trial. The study involved 100 women and men living with obesity and hypertension who took an average of 3 blood pressure medications.
