While current research suggests that inflammation of adipose tissue in obesity is linked to accelerated aging, it has yet to be determined in humans how this could enhance preventative and personalized medicine for obese individuals. The NBC study aims to investigate : 1. Whether bariatric surgery is associated with changes in biological age 2. If bariatric surgery alters adipocyte dysfunction, the microbiota and biological rhythms 3. Whether changes in adipocyte dysfunction, microbiota and biological rhythms are linked to changes in biological age. To achieve this, establishing a biocollection before, during and after bariatric surgery will be crucial in addressing these questions
The study of the Nantes Bariatric Surgery Cohort (NBC) aims to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on biological age, adipocyte dysfunction, microbiota, and biological rhythms in individuals with obesity. This observational study will include 300 participants over 3.5 years. It involves pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative visits to collect clinical, biological, and lifestyle data. Key assessments include anthropometrics, blood tests, questionnaires, and biocollections

Nantes University Hospital
Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, France
Observe how biological age evolves between pre-bariatric surgery and 1 year after bariatric surgery
Biological age will be estimated by measuring phenotypic age. The phenotypic age will be determined from the following variable: albumin, creatinine, fasting glucose, CRP, lymphocyte count, red cell size, alkaline phosphates, leukocyte count.
Time frame: 1 year
