Summary

Obesity surgery, or bariatric surgery, is increasingly needed globally due to rising obesity rates. For Asians, guidelines suggest bariatric surgery for BMIs over 35 without comorbidities, or over 30 with comorbidities.

Area of Science:

  • Bariatric surgery and metabolic disorder management.
  • Global public health trends in obesity.

Context:

  • Rising rates of overweight and obesity in Asia, including Japan.
  • Growing need for effective obesity interventions in Asian populations.
  • Limited but emerging guidelines for bariatric surgery in Asian patients.

Purpose:

  • To summarize current indications for bariatric surgery in Asian populations.
  • To highlight the expanding role of obesity surgery in addressing the Asian obesity epidemic.

Summary:

  • Bariatric surgery is expanding globally due to increasing obesity.
  • Recent IFSO-APC consensus (2011) provides guidelines for Asian patients.
  • Recommendations include BMI >35 (no comorbidities) or BMI >30 (with comorbidities).
