BackgroundBariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective intervention for severe obesity, leading to sustained weight loss, reduced obesity-related comorbidities, and cardiovascular mortality.AimTo assess changes in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functions [cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and anti-inflammatory capacity] at different follow-up times in patients with severe obesity undergoing BS.MethodsA prospective observational study within a cohort of consecutively enrolled patients with severe obesity scheduled to undergo BS. In total, 62 participants (77% women), with a mean age of 42.1 years (SD 9.33 years) underwent BS. Regarding the surgical procedure, 27 (43.5%) underwent sleeve gastrectomy and 35 (56.5%) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. All patients were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.ResultsA decrease in body mass index and an improvement in the systemic lipid profile, indicated by reductions in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc), and remnant cholesterol, and an increase in HDL cholesterol (HDLc) was observed (all p trend
