Abstract
The 2022 American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) updated the indications for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS), replacing the previous guidelines established by the NIH over 30 years ago. The evidence supporting these updated guidelines has been strengthened to assist metabolic and bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, and other members of multidisciplinary teams, as well as patients. This study aims to assess the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations compared to the previously published criteria.

Abstract
Purpose: This study analyzed the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients over 60 years old, in a long-term follow-up, in a high-volume bariatric center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients older than 60 years who underwent LSG in our center from January 2009 to December 2018. A prospectively collected database of 4991 consecutive LSG cases was reviewed. Results: One hundred seventy-nine sleeve gastrectomy procedures were performed in patients older than 60 years, 135 were aged 60-65 years (group A) and 44 were older than 65 years (group B). We reported five cases (2.7%) of early complications: three postoperative hemorrhages, one cardial leakage, and one perigastric abscess. No thromboembolic events or mortality rates were reported. The mean follow-up period was 5.5 years (66 months). The follow-up loss rate was about 29%. At last follow-up, the mean body-mass index/body mass/percentage of excess weight loss values were, respectively, 33.7 ± 7/86.1 ± 21/60.4 ± 28.6 in group A and 32.4 ± 6.4/82.6 ± 18/61.8 ± 33 in group B. We reported 5 (4.0%) trocar site hernias, 1 (0.8%) cardial junction stenosis, and 22 (18%) new outbreaks of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). There were 7 reinterventions (5.7%): 5 for weight regain and 2 for GERD not responding to medical therapy. There were no statistically significant differences between the two age groups. Conclusions: LSG is a safe and effective treatment for severe obesity in people over 60 years old. There are no differences in results of patients over 65 years and between 60 and 65 years old. Scales that include associated medical problems and the patient's general condition must be considered.

Obes Surg 2023; 33:2269-2275. [PMID: 37402119 PMCID: PMC10345030 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06705-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The type 2 diabetes (T2D) improvement rate in the elderly is high after bariatric and metabolic surgery, but not all patients achieve complete remission of disease. There are some predictors for T2D remission after bariatric surgery in patients of different ages, but there are few studies describing these factors in elderly patients. The study aimed to determine predictors for diabetes remission after bariatric surgery among patients over 65 years of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study analyzed patients over 65 years with T2D who underwent laparoscopic bariatric procedures in European country from 2008 to 2022. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain significant, independent risk factors. RESULTS The group consisted of 146 patients divided into two groups: responders (R) and nonresponders (NR). The complete remission of T2D was achieved in 51 (34.9%) patients. There were 95 (65.1%) patients in the NR group with partial remission, improvement, or no changes in T2D. The mean follow-up was 50.0 months. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, a T2D duration of less than 5 years was found to be a predictor to T2D remission (OR = 5.5, p = 0.002), %EWL significantly corresponded to T2D remission (OR = 1.090, p = 0009). CONCLUSION Bariatric and metabolic surgery appears to be a good option for T2D treatment in elderly patients. A shorter duration of T2D before surgery and higher %EWL after surgery were independent predictors of T2D remission in patients over 65 years of age.

Abstract
The high prevalence of obesity in the elderly and the increase in life expectancy pushed up the age limit as an indication to bariatric surgery. Nevertheless, results on safety and effectiveness of these procedures in over 60 years old population are still controversial. Objectives of the study were to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bariatric surgery in the elderly. A prospectively collected database was queried for patients older than 60 years who underwent laparoscopic bariatric procedures between 2010 and 2017 at a single institution. These patients were matched with a group of younger patients who had the same procedure in the same period of time. Basal characteristic, intra- and post-operative data were compared. Patients were followed up at 36 months reporting the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) and comorbidities remission rate. A total of 100 patients ≥ 60 years old were included (Group 1) and matched with a control group of 96 patients < 60 years (Group 2). Post-operative complications rate was similar (15.0% versus 10.4% p = 0.395). %EWL at 36 months was significantly higher in Group 2 (44.6% versus 68.2% p < 0.001), while remission of medical morbidities was similar in both groups, with a higher rate for type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission among older people (p = 0.017). Patients older than 60 years have post-operative outcomes comparable to younger population. Long-term results are inferior in terms of %EWL, but similar regarding morbidities remission rates, with particular benefits on T2D.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of obesity is increasing according to the World Health Organization. Furthermore, global aging is increasing, especially in developed countries in Europe. Whether bariatric surgery should be performed in elderly people is still controversial. AIM To determine the clinical outcomes of sleeve gastrectomies (SG) in older central European patients. We compared the safety and efficacy of SG in patients older than 60 years with younger patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-nine patients older than 60 years, who underwent SG, were included in the study. Eighty-nine younger patients (aged 18-40 years) were matched according to body mass index (BMI) and comorbidities. The analyzed data included age, sex, total body weight, BMI, length of hospital stay, 30-day complications and improvement in comorbidities. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the complication rate between the 2 age groups (p = 0.59). An improvement in hypertension was observed in 73.1% of older patients and in 69.2% of younger patients (p = 0.67). There was improvement in diabetes mellitus in 40% of older patients and in 31.1% of younger patients (p = 0.25). The ΔBMI after 12, 24 and 36 months was significantly lower in older patients than in younger patients (p = 0.002, p = 0.001; p = 0.043, respectively). Percent excess BMI loss (%EBMIL) after 12, 24, and 60 months was significantly lower in older than in younger patients (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.028, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Better weight loss is achieved in younger than in older patients, while maintaining a similar effect on the risk of complications and improvement in comorbidities. Therefore, SG is safe and effective in older people.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Information on the associations between barriers to delivery of bariatric surgery and poor weight trajectory afterward is lacking. Estimates are needed to inform decisions by administrators and clinicians to improve care. OBJECTIVE To estimate the difference in patient-years of treatment for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia and public-payer cost between the Canadian standard and an improved bariatric surgery care pathway. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Economic evaluation of a decision analytic model comparing the outcomes of the standard care in Canada with an improved bariatric care pathway with earlier sleeve gastrectomy delivery and better postsurgical weight trajectory. The model was informed by published clinical data (101 studies) and meta-analyses (11 studies) between January and May 2019. Participants were a hypothetical 100-patient cohort with demographic characteristics derived from a Canadian study. INTERVENTIONS Reduction of Canadian mean bariatric surgery wait time by 2.5 years following referral and improvement of patient postsurgery weight trajectory to levels observed in other countries. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Modeling weight trajectory after sleeve gastrectomy and resolution rates for comorbidities in Canada in comparison with an improved care pathway to estimate differences in patient-years of comorbidity treatment over 10 years following referral and the associated costs. RESULTS For the 100-patient cohort (mean [SD] 88.2% [1.4%] female; mean [SD] age, 43.6 [9.2] years; mean [SD] body mass index, 49.4 [8.2]; and mean [SD] comorbidity prevalence of 50.0% [4.1%], 66.0% [3.9%], and 59.3% [4.0%] for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, respectively) over 10 years following referral, the improved vs standard care pathway was associated with median reduction in patient-years of treatment of 324 (95% credibility interval [CrI], 249-396) for diabetes, 245 (95% CrI, 163-356) for hypertension, and 255 (95% CrI, 169-352) for dyslipidemia, corresponding to total savings of $900 000 (95% CrI, $630 000 to $1.2 million) for public payers in the base case. Relative to standard of care, the associated reduction in costs was approximately 29% (95% CrI, 20%-42%) in the improved pathway. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated independent associations of earlier surgical delivery and various levels of postsurgical weight trajectory improvements with overall savings. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study suggests that health care burden may be decreased through improvements to delivery and management of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. More data are needed on long-term patient experience with bariatric surgery in Canada to inform better estimates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The population are getting older and obesity is growing. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is increasingly used worldwide but is still used with skepticism in the elderly. The purpose of our analysis is to judge the security of LSG in patients older than 60 years compared to patients younger than 60 years. METHODS This retrospective review included data of all patients in Germany who underwent LSG between January 2005 and December 2016.The data were published online in the German Bariatric Surgery Registry. A total of 21,571 operations were gathered and divided into two groups: group I, patients < 60 years old; and group II, patients ≥ 60 years old. RESULTS The total number of patients and the mean body mass index of group I and group II was 19,786, 51.7 ± 9.5 kg/m2 and 1771, 49.2 ± 8.1 kg/m2, respectively. Regarding comorbidities, group II suffered statistically significantly more comorbidities than group I (p < 0.001). The general postoperative complications were 4.9% in group I and 7.8% in group II (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in special postoperative complications (p = 0.048) and a slightly higher intraoperative complication rate in group II (2.2% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.048). Thirty-day mortality rate for group I versus II was 0.22% and 0.23% (p = 0.977), respectively. CONCLUSIONS LSG is a low-risk operation and safe surgical method with acceptable, not elevated perioperative morbidity and mortality rates in patients ≥ 60 years of age.

Abstract
The study aims to systematically review the available evidence regarding weight loss interventions (lifestyle, surgical, and pharmacological) for obesity in adults aged over 60 years. A search of prospective, randomized studies took place in January 2018, on Medline (Web of Science) and PubMed databases. Search terms included the following: elderly, obese, hypocaloric, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. Abstracts were screened for eligibility. A total of 256 publications regarding lifestyle interventions were identified; of these, 69 studies were eligible. As no eligible studies were identified for pharmacotherapy or bariatric surgery, the search was broadened to include non- randomized studies. Four pharmacotherapy and 66 surgery studies were included. Lifestyle intervention had similar weight loss efficacy in older compared with younger people, with positive effects on a number of relevant outcomes, including physical function and cardiovascular parameters. There was little data regarding obesity pharmacotherapy in older persons. The available data for bariatric surgery indicate comparable weight loss and resolution of type 2 diabetes, with similar or slightly higher complication rates in older compared with younger people. Older age alone should not be considered a contraindication to intensive lifestyle or surgical intervention for obesity. There are insufficient data to guide clinical decisions regarding obesity pharmacotherapy in older people.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity rates worldwide continue to increase and will disproportionately affect older adults because of population aging. This review highlights recent progress pertaining to therapeutic approaches to obesity in older adults. RECENT FINDINGS Caloric restriction alone improves physical function and quality of life in older adults with obesity but is associated with loss of lean mass and increases fracture risk. Adding progressive resistance training to caloric restriction attenuates loss of muscle and bone mass and increasing protein intake enhances this effect. Adding aerobic endurance training to caloric restriction further improves cardiorespiratory fitness but adding both aerobic endurance training and resistance training to caloric restriction results in the greatest improvement in overall physical function while still preserving lean mass. Future promising therapeutic interventions include testosterone, myostatin inhibitors, and bariatric surgery, but there are few studies specific to obese older adults. SUMMARY The optimal approach toward obesity in older persons is lifestyle intervention incorporating caloric restriction and exercise consisting of aerobic endurance training and resistance training. Maintenance of adequate protein intake, calcium, and vitamin D is advisable. There is insufficient evidence specific to obese older adults to recommend testosterone or bariatric surgery at this time. Myostatin inhibitors may become a future treatment, and clinical trials are ongoing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increase in life expectancy presents health systems with a growing challenge in the form of elderly obesity. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for obesity with reduction of excess weight and improvement in obesity-related co-morbidities. However, only recently have surgeons begun performing these operations on elderly patients on a larger scale, making data regarding mid- and long-term outcomes scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and midterm efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients aged ≥60 years. METHODS All patients aged ≥60 years who underwent LSG between 2008 and 2014 and achieved ≥24-month follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics and perioperative data were analyzed. Weight loss parameters and co-morbidity resolution rates were compared with preoperative data. RESULTS In total 55 patients aged ≥60 years underwent LSG. Mean patient age was 63.9 ± 3.2 years (range, 60-75.2), and mean preoperative body mass index was 43 ± 6.0 kg/m2. Perioperative morbidity included 5 cases of hemorrhage necessitating operative exploration, 2 cases of reduced hemoglobin levels treated with blood transfusion, and 1 case of portal vein thrombosis managed with anticoagulation. There were no mortalities. Mean follow-up time was 48.6 (range, 25.6-94.5) months. Mean percentage of excess weight loss was 66.4 ± 19.7, 67.5 ±1 6.4, 61.4 ± 18.3, 66.7 ± 25.6, 50.7 ± 21.4 at 12, 24, 36, 37 to 60, and 61 to 96 months, respectively. Statistically significant improvement of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were observed at the latest follow-up (P < .01). CONCLUSION LSG offers an effective treatment of obesity and its co-morbidities in patients aged ≥60 years, albeit with a high perioperative bleeding rate at our center; efficacy is maintained for at least 4.5 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) represents the most performed bariatric surgical procedure worldwide. Morbid Overweight in elderly patients is becoming a significant health problem even in Italy. As well as in younger age groups, bariatric surgery could be indicated even in this subset of patients. However the advantages and results of LSG in patients over 60 years old have received minimal attention. METHODS The records of 375 patients underwent LSG between 2008 and 2016 were reviewed. In the entire series 18 patients were aged 60 years or older at the time of surgery. Since a 3 years follow-up was available for 12 patients out of the 18 aged over 60 we included in the study only these. General epidemiologic data, clinical findings, BMI and comorbidities surgical treatment and follow-up data were collected; postoperative measurements such as operative time, intraoperative complications, mortality rate, length of stay, incidence of early and late complications, Body mass Index (BMI), excess weight loss rate (EWL%) and comorbidities resolution were also recorded. RESULTS LSG was successfully performed for all geriatric patients. Global complications rate was 16.6% At 3 years mean BMI was 34.4±3.8 with a mean EWL% 66.1±31.9. Postoperative resolution of obesity comorbidities was observed; Hypertension (71.4%), type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) (50.0%), obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (66.6%) respectively. No intraoperative complications or mortality were recorded. CONCLUSIONS LSG offered cure in geriatric patients affected by morbid obesity for weight loss and comorbidities resolution. Larger studies are necessary to analyze and minimize the incidence of postoperative complications associated to this surgical procedure in elderly patients.
