Despite the fact that 63% of the English and 67% of the Scottish adult population is overweight, only 25.4% of this population listed cancer as a health issue related to being overweight when asked an unprompted question.

Six-month treatment with intragastric balloon (IGB) was associated with significant weight loss and improvements in obese individuals with metabolic syndrome in their health-related quality of life (HRQoL), according to researchers from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They reported that weight loss parameters were associated with short-term improvements in HRQoL, although only total fat was independently related to HRQOL perception.

Patients who lose at least 8 percent of excess weight just one month before the bariatric surgery have an increased probability of losing additional in the year following surgery, according to researchers from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Greenville, SC. Apart from surgery, diet and weight loss before the operation may also determine how successful a person is in losing weight during the first year after the procedure.
