Eligibility criteria for weight loss / metabolic and bariatric surgery
IFSO (International Federation for the surgery of obesity and metabolic disorders) & ASMBS (American society for metabolic and bariatric surgery) 2022 criteria / indications for weight loss / bariatric surgery:
Major updates to 1991 National Institutes of Health guidelines for bariatric surgery
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m2, regardless of presence, absence, or severity of co-morbidities.
MBS should be considered for individuals with metabolic disease and BMI of 30-34.9 kg/m .
BMI thresholds should be adjusted in the Asian population such that a BMI >25 kg/m2 suggests clinical obesity, and individuals with BMI >27.5 kg/m2 should be offered MBS.
Long-term results of MBS consistently demonstrate safety and efficacy.
