Metabolic Bariatric Surgery Reduces Risk of New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes

Metabolic bariatric surgery lowers the risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes in patients with obesity, with a more pronounced reduction in those of low socioeconomic status. In a cohort study with 917 patients and 1811 controls, new-onset type 2 diabetes was less frequent in the surgery group (4.1 per 1000 person-years) than in the control group (20.2 per 1000 person-years). The risk reduction was more marked in individuals of low socioeconomic status, indicating that access to bariatric surgery could help reduce health inequalities.
