| Abstract |
Obesity and diabetes are chronic diseases frequently linked together. Durable weight loss is uncommon with medical/behavioral approaches. For severe obesity, bariatric surgery is the only treatment resulting in sustained weight loss. Bariatric surgery may be considered for adults with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m(2) and type 2 diabetes, especially if the diabetes or associated comorbidities are difficult to control with lifestyle and pharmacological therapy. Bariatric surgery reduces the incidence of diabetes in overweight insulin-resistant subjects and is associated with remission of diabetes in a large proportion of patients. In considering the usefulness of bariatric surgery, it is also important to recognize that long-term follow-up is required before assigning a beneficial therapeutic effect in patients with diabetes because of the potential for weight regain that has been observed. As diabetes is a lifelong disease, it is important to emphasize that a certain percentage of patients will suffer from relapse of their diabetes. |

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 29 April 2014.
All research outputs
#20,228,822
of 22,754,104 outputs
Outputs from Current Cardiology Reports
#901
of 995 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#264,536
of 304,990 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Cardiology Reports
#21
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,754,104 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 995 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 304,990 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
