Bariatric surgery and memory problems in people with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may affect memory and thinking in people with obesity who already have memory decline or dementia. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what changes to expect.
