AB  - The UK population is ageing rapidly, and the proportion of people living with obesity is increasing.Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke and cancer. Older patientsare admitted for obesity related complications at a similar rate compared to younger patients.However, the operations for people over 70-years are extremely infrequent. In this scoping reviewwe summarize the recent data on bariatric operations in people over 70-years and the possible riskbenefit ratio of bariatric surgery for this population.
