| description | Despite being equally affected by obesity, females represent the vast majority of obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. We aimed to identify potential gender disparities among African American (AA) patients seeking bariatric surgery at our institution. Demographics, presence of comorbidities, socio-economic variables, type of consultation, and attrition rates were compared among male and female patients. A total of 710 patients were referred for bariatric surgery; 468 (65.9%) were AA: 68 (14.5%) male and 400 (85.5%) female. Male patients were older, were more frequently married, and had higher prevalence of obesity-related comorbidities, as compared to female patients. Male patients showed significantly higher high school graduation rates, higher income, and longer distance to the hospital. The use of telehealth was similar in both groups. Male patients had significantly higher attrition rates (73.5% vs. 56.7%, p=0.009). Strategies to better promote and increase access to bariatric surgery to male patients should be prioritized. |
