The 7-year cardiovascular risk was 18.0% in the bariatric surgery group and 18.9% in the no-surgery group, with a risk difference of -0.9.
Bariatric surgery may not significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in this population.

Comparing bariatric surgery with no surgery (target trial #1; 8,087 individuals), the 7-year cardiovascular risk was 18.0% (95% CI = 6.9, 32.7) in the surgery group and 18.9% (95% CI = 17.7, 20.1) in the no-surgery group (risk difference -0.9, 95% CI = -12.0, 14.0).
Why this rating
