Abstract:
With the rising obesity rates and increased demand for weight-loss methods in China, there is a need for safer and more effective solutions to improve metabolic disorders associated with obesity and enhance patients' quality of life. Current bariatric surgery, while being the most effective method, faces limitations such as insufficient weight loss, weight regain, and complications. However, advancements in bariatric surgery techniques, the development of less invasive endoscopic bariatric procedures, the emergence of new anti-obesity drugs with single and multiple targets, and the application of artificial intelligence in metabolic and bariatric surgery are addressing these issues and revealing the rapid progress of obesity metabolism research and its clinical applications. This paper reviews relevant research published in 2024, explores emerging hotspots and potential research directions, and provides references for further exploring advancements in bariatric surgery techniques, combination anti-obesity drug therapies, and AI-assisted applications.
