The longitudinal study also shows that bariatric surgery is associated with improvements in pre-existing type 2 diabetes and hypertension and with a reduced risk of the onset of several obesity-related co-morbidities.The researchers came to their results by analyzing data from the United Kingdom Clinical Practice Research Datalink, a government database containing anonymized information from roughly 8 percent of the UK population. With the data, they compared 3,882 bariatric surgery patients to 3,882 obese patients who didn't have the surgery.
