    Long-term studies indicate sustained improvement in dyslipidemia 10 years post-RYGB, with correlations to weight loss.

    The BAROBS study included 314 patients with lipid values assessed at baseline and 10 years post-surgery.

  • 4

    Biochemical assessments included various lipid parameters, with LDL calculated using the Friedewald formula.
