DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abstract: Bariatric surgery is effective in treating extreme obesity in adults, and is most commonly used in the 5th decade. As more teenagers develop extreme obesity and seek bariatric surgery, our long term goal is to elucidate the health benefits and risks of surgical weight loss for adolescents. Our central hypothesis is that severe obesity in adolescence is associated with medical and psychosocial impairments which may be more effectively treated with surgery during adolescence rather than later in adulthood. This is based on our observations that adolescents presenting for bariatric surgery 1) have overt and occult medical comorbidities and have already developed psychosocial problems which are likely to worsen, 2) lose significant weight following bariatric surgery, and 3) experience improvement in a number of serious obesity-related conditions such as features of the metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, depression, and quality of life. However, compliance by adolescents with prescribed medical regimens can be poor and may adversely affect beneficial outcomes of bariatric surgery performed in adolescence. Thus, the purpose of this proposal is to elucidate for the first time benefits and define complications to be expected when bariatric surgery is performed in adolescence compared to the alternative, bariatric surgery in adulthood. Our Specific Aims are: To determine whether key health indicators significantly differ between adolescents and adults seeking bariatric surgery and determine whether there is an age-related health benefit in performing bariatric surgery earlier rather than later in the lifetime; 2) To identify health risks for adolescents and adults undergoing bariatric surgery; 3) To document the psychosocial status of adolescents and adults with extreme obesity before and after bariatric surgery. Adolescents will be recruited from several high volume adolescent bariatric centers and a comparison cohort from adult bariatric centers participating in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS). By comparison of features of the metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea indices, complications, nutritional status, regimen adherence, and psychosocial status, we will begin to understand medical and psychological health outcomes of bariatric surgery using obesity duration as a moderating variable. This comparison will lead to a better understanding of the plasticity of important medical and psychosocial obesity-related comorbidities in the life-course of those with severe obesity. By also defining risks in the adolescent population, these data will be invaluable for scientifically informing decision-making regarding appropriate timing of surgery for young Americans whose health is increasingly threatened by extreme obesity.

描述（由申请人提供）： 摘要：减肥手术可有效治疗成人极度肥胖，最常用于 50 岁左右。随着越来越多的青少年出现极度肥胖并寻求减肥手术，我们的长期目标是阐明青少年手术减肥的健康益处和风险。我们的中心假设是，青春期严重肥胖与医学和心理社会损伤有关，在青春期而不是成年后期通过手术治疗可能更有效。这是基于我们的观察，即接受减肥手术的青少年 1) 患有明显和隐匿的医疗合并症，并且已经出现了可能恶化的心理社会问题，2) 减肥手术后体重显着减轻，3) 一些严重的肥胖相关病症（如代谢综合征、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停、抑郁和生活质量）得到改善。然而，青少年对规定的医疗方案的依从性可能较差，并且可能会对青春期进行的减肥手术的有益结果产生不利影响。因此，该提案的目的是首次阐明在青春期进行减肥手术与成年期进行减肥手术相比的益处并定义预期的并发症。我们的具体目标是： 确定寻求减肥手术的青少年和成人之间的关键健康指标是否存在显着差异，并确定早期而不是晚年进行减肥手术是否具有与年龄相关的健康益处； 2) 确定接受减肥手术的青少年和成人的健康风险； 3) 记录极度肥胖的青少年和成人在减肥手术前后的心理社会状态。将从几个大容​​量青少年减肥中心招募青少年，并从参与减肥手术纵向评估（LABS）的成人减肥中心招募对照组。通过比较代谢综合征、睡眠呼吸暂停指数、并发症、营养状况、治疗方案依从性和心理社会状态的特征，我们将开始了解使用肥胖持续时间作为调节变量的减肥手术的医疗和心理健康结果。这种比较将有助于更好地了解严重肥胖者生命过程中与肥胖相关的重要医学和心理社会合并症的可塑性。通过定义青少年人群的风险，这些数据对于为健康日益受到极度肥胖威胁的美国年轻人的适当手术时机做出科学决策提供了宝贵的信息。
