Change in predicted 10-year and lifetime cardiovascular disease risk after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term changes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk after bariatric surgery are not well characterized.

Objective

To report sex-specific changes in CVD risk after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB).

Setting

Observational cohort study at ten hospitals throughout the United States.

Methods

Between 2006 and 2009, 1770 adults enrolled in a prospective cohort study underwent RYGB at 1 of 10 U.S. hospitals. Research assessments were conducted presurgery and annually postsurgery over 7 years. Sex specific-predicted 10-year and lifetime CVD risk were calculated using the Framingham10-year and lifetime risk scores, Framingham-body mass index, and atherosclerotic CVD scoring algorithms among participants with no history of CVD. Of 1566 eligible partici
