Teenagers: Good Results After Bariatric Surgery Regardless of Young Age
Infographic · Jun 2021
In brief
In brief
Evidence supporting favorable outcomes of bariatric surgery in teenage patients, demonstrating that younger age does not negatively impact surgical results for adolescent obesity treatment.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the infographic.
The infographic uses a grid layout with a human figure icon on the left showing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Six outcome boxes compare 13-15 year olds versus 16-19 year olds using icons: scales for weight loss, blood pressure cuff for hypertension, blood drops for anemia, heart in hands for quality of life, LDL cholesterol diagram, and blood glucose meter for diabetes. Red arrows and highlights emphasize significant differences in anemia and diabetes resolution favoring the younger cohort. Gray elements indicate equivalent outcomes.
