Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does weight loss associated with bariatric surgery restore short telomere length of severe obese patients after 1 year?
Answer: These results confirm that obese subjects have shorter telomeres compared to non-obese subjects, but RTL is not influenced by the presence of metabolic syndrome. RTL shows an additional attrition during the immediate post-operative period, probably due to a catabolic state.
Output (English): no
