Bariatric surgery appears to reverse premature aging
Weight loss from bariatric surgery appears to reverse the premature aging associated with obesity, according to research presented at Frontiers in CardioVascular Biology (FCVB) 2016. In his presentation, ‘Reversal of premature aging markers after bariatric surgery’, Dr Philipp Hohensinner, a researcher at the Medical University of Vienna in Vienna, Austria, said that surgical patients had longer telomeres and less inflammation two years after surgery.
