Pre-surgical factors related to latent trajectories of 5-year weight loss for a diverse bariatric surgery population

CONCLUSIONS: Future research should examine the role of the built and perceived environment in surgical weight loss. Bariatric practices should focus less on the presurgical period for predictors of long-term weight loss and begin efforts to monitor real-time patient-reported outcomes to help tailor intervention strategies for patients who either do not lose an expected amount of weight or who begin to experience weight recurrence.PMID:38443200 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2024.01.016
