Bariatric surgery  significantly lowered inflammatory factors ; however , baseline BMI , follow-up duration and type of surgery could impact the extent of observed effects
Obesity is one of the main causes of inflammation .
Previous studies have reported inconclusive results regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on inflammatory markers .
This systematic review and meta- analysis is aim ed at describing the effect of bariatric surgery on C-reactive protein ( CRP ) , interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α ) .
A Prospective Study of Dietary Patterns and Mortality in Chinese Women
Background : Many foods and nutrients have been suggested to influence life expectancy . However , previous studies have not examined the relationship between dietary patterns and cause-specific mortality . Our study prospect ively examines the relationship of dietary patterns with total mortality and cause-specific mortality in a population -based cohort study of Chinese women . Methods : The Shanghai Women 's Health Study is a population -based cohort study of 74,942 women age 40 to 70 years at the time of recruitment ( September 1996 to May 2000 ) . Detailed dietary information was collected using a vali date d , quantitative food frequency question naire . The cohort has been followed using a combination of in-person interviews and record linkage with various registries . Dietary patterns , derived from principal component analysis , were examined for their relation to total mortality and cause-specific mortality using Cox regression models . Results : After an average of 5.7 years of follow-up ( 423,717 person-years of observation ) , there were 1565 deaths . We derived 3 major dietary patterns ( vegetable-rich , fruit-rich , and meat-rich ) . The adjusted hazard ratios for the fruit-rich diet were 0.94 ( 95 % CI = 0.89–0.98 ) for all causes of death and 0.89 ( 0.81–0.99 ) , 0.79 ( 0.69–0.91 ) , and 0.51 ( 0.39–0.65 ) for death caused by cardiovascular disease , stroke , and diabetes , respectively . The meat-rich diet was associated with increased risk of diabetes ( HR = 1.18 ; 95 % CI = 0.98–1.42 ) and a slightly elevated risk of total mortality . Conclusion : In general , a fruit-rich diet was related to lower mortality , whereas a meat-rich diet appeared to increase the probability of death
