This study aims to evaluate the impact of metabolic and bariatric surgery on telomere length as well as the role of type 2 diabetes resolution and oxidative stress improvement on telomere lengthening.
The investigators hypothesize that metabolic and bariatric surgery is associated with the lengthening of telomeres as a possible underlying mechanism of cancer risk reduction.
It is a prospective, single-center study including patients with obesity class II or more (Body Mass Index ≥ 35kg/m2) and patients having had metabolic and bariatric surgery more than 12 months ago.
