Body mass index (BMI) associates with frequency of arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes in obese patients candidates for bariatric surgery
The frequency of AH and T2DM increases with increasing BMI levels. BMIQ outperforms BMI and obesity classes in modelling. This finding supports the use of fine stratification of BMI in clinical risk assessment. More specific studies are required to fully understand the impact of different BMI thresholds in determining the health status of obese patients, and to reduce the risks of BS in patients with extreme obesity.
