| Abstract |
Although bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe obesity, a significant minority of participants fail to achieve or maintain optimal weight loss at extended follow-up. Accumulating evidence suggests that adherence to prescribed postoperative recommendations, including attendance at follow-up appointments and dietary and physical activity, is related to improved weight loss outcomes. However, adherence to these guidelines presents a significant challenge for many patients, potentially due in part to deficits in cognitive function. In this paper, we briefly examine current literature of adherence on postoperative weight loss outcomes, and review emerging evidence that the cognitive dysfunction present in a subset of obese individuals is related to weight loss outcomes following bariatric procedures. We then extend these findings, positing a role for cognitive function in moderating the relationship between adherence and postoperative outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2013.
All research outputs
#15,283,138
of 22,727,570 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#2,062
of 3,363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#122,004
of 197,415 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#12
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,727,570 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,363 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 197,415 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
