Abstract

The UK population is ageing rapidly, and the proportion of people living with obesity is increasing. Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke and cancer. Older patients are admitted for obesity related complications at a similar rate compared to younger patients. However, the operations for people over 70-years are extremely infrequent. In this scoping review we summarize the recent data on bariatric operations in people over 70-years and the possible risk benefit ratio of bariatric surgery for this population
