Abstract
Bariatric surgery improves quality of life in elderly obese patients with no compromise on their nutritional status (protein deficiencies). In the lack of precise recommendations, this represents a major argument that may serve to the preoperative assessment of such patients. More complex evaluations in a prospective controlled studies with long-term follow-up are mandatory to validate these findings and precise the estimated advantage in terms of risks of fall and fracture.
