Cognitive Improvements 1-year Post-Bariatric Surgery for Individuals with Elevated vs. Normal Baseline CRP

	Individuals with Elevated Baseline CRP (n = 60)^a			Individuals with Normal Baseline CRP (n = 17)^b
	Baseline	Follow-up	Average Change	Baseline	Follow-up	Average Change	Group X Time	p-value
Attention/EF	53.36(9.00)	59.92(8.75)	+6.56	54.29(7.65)	61.75(5.79)	+7.46	0.28	.60
Memory	45.09(8.44)	50.81(8.08)	+5.72	44.49(6.27)	54.16(8.53)	+9.67	3.08	.083
Language	48.65(10.23)	49.01(9.51)	+0.36	49.37(9.62)	50.65(9.30)	+1.64	0.23	.64

Note. EF = executive function. Average change represents group-level changes from baseline to follow-up. Positive values indicate improvement in cognitive performance at follow-up. Repeated measure analyses of variance were conducted to examine cognitive changes one year after bariatric surgery in participants with elevated and normal baseline CRP.

Elevated CRP values are CRP value ≥ 0.30 mg/dL.

Normal CRP values are CRP values < 0.30 mg/dL.
