Congratulations! A multicenter study on "Five-year outcomes of metabolic surgery in Chinese subjects with type 2 diabetes" has been published in the Chinese Medical Journal. This project was led by Chinese experts in metabolic and bariatric surgery and its multidisciplinary team. Most of the authors are the core team members of the International Obesity Society (IOS) China Chapter.
Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) present significant health issues in China. Despite generally having lower body mass index (BMI) thresholds than Western populations, Chinese individuals often experience higher rates of central obesity, leading to increased metabolic risks even at lower BMI levels. The prevalence of T2D among adults in China is estimated to be 11.2%. Traditional treatments, including lifestyle interventions and medications, often fail to achieve sustained weight loss and effective glycemic control in the long term in patients with obesity and T2D.
Five-year outcomes of glycemic control and weight loss after metabolic surgery (RYGB, SG) in Chinese obese population with T2D. (A) The percentage of subjects achieving each of the five components of the composite measure of glycemic control (definition in Supplementary Material 2,http://links.lww.com/CM9/C282) was summarized for each treatment group (RYGB, SG, Total) at two and five years after bariatric/metabolic surgery. (B) Mean BMI and TWL% in the RYGB and SG groups over a 60-months period compared with baseline metric. BMI: Body mass index; RYGB: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; SG: Sleeve gastrectomy; TWL: Total weight loss; T2D: Type 2 diabetes.
