Cohort profile: study design and baseline characteristics of an observational longitudinal weight loss cohort and biorepository of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy in the USA
Our future research will explore the variability in weight loss outcomes observed in our cohort, particularly among Black and Hispanic patients in comparison to their White counterparts. We will identify social determinants of health, metabolic factors and other variables that may predict weight loss success, weight maintenance and remission of obesity-related comorbidities. Additionally, we plan to leverage our biorepository for collaborative research studies. We will complete long-term follow-up data by December 2031. We plan to apply for funding to expand biosample collection through year 10 to provide insights into the mechanisms of long-term weight maintenance.
