Psychosocial Predictors of Cognition in Bariatric Surgery

Obesity affects individuals worldwide and is currently the 5th leading cause of death according to the WHO. Bariatric surgery is an effective strategy that produces durable long-term weight loss. There is a bidirectional interplay between mental health and obesity; with higher depression and anxiety in the obese population as well as significant effects on weight loss for people with mental health disorders. Our cross-sectional study aims to examine psychosocial predictors of cognition for the pre-operative bariatric surgery population and its effect on work productivity.
