Core Tip

Core Tip: This was a retrospective study. We aimed to compare preoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes between patients with familial aggregation of obesity (FAO) and those with sporadic obesity. The following data were examined: Baseline characteristics, weight changes at postoperative intervals (1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months), alleviation of obesity-related complications, and the occurrence of surgery-related complications. Such a comparative analysis provides valuable insights for guiding postoperative treatment and health education tailored to individuals with FAO.
