Figure 3. Remission of Comorbid Conditions Following Bariatric Surgery.

Lines indicate modeled remission, bars, and 95% CI based on mixed models, adjusted for baseline factors independently related to missing follow-up data (ie, site, age, and smoking). Remission was defined as the percentage of participants who did not have the comorbidity at the indicated follow-up among participants who had the comorbidity at baseline. Comorbidities were not assessed at 6 months or year 6. Data collection ended before the 7-year assessment of 30% of Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery study participants. HDL indicates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
