- Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are growing global health concerns. Evidence suggests that Indigenous peoples are at higher lifetime risk of obesity and its associated conditions. Obesity increases the risk of T2D, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Bariatric surgery is the most sustained and effective intervention for treating obesity-associated medical problems. This review aims to explore the experiences and outcomes of Indigenous peoples undergoing bariatric surgery in Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand (CANZUS). Analysis of quantitative data revealed that Indigenous patients had fewer bariatric procedures, poorer clinic attendance, similar weight loss outcomes and slightly higher post-operative complication rates. Qualitative data analysis revealed that Indigenous patients living with obesity have a desire to improve their health and quality of life.
