The effect of mental health on weight loss after bariatric surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Eating disorder symptomology might explain the efficient weight loss results in the high-risk category. The high-risk category may have more mental health issues that are unrelated to obesity, which explains the proportionally reduced mental health improvement. The study calls for further research involving a larger study population and a longer follow-up period. FUNDING: The work was carried out as a part of the research programme Governing Obesity, funded by the University of Copenhagen Excellence Programme for Interdisciplinary Research.
